Europe to Offer Iran 'Diplomatic Solution' to War with Israel
- On June 22, 2025, European foreign ministers including Britain’s David Lammy will meet Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva to seek a diplomatic solution to the Iran-Israel conflict.
- This meeting takes place after Lammy held discussions in Washington with top U.S. officials, including the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and the envoy responsible for Middle East affairs, Steve Witkoff, amid intensifying Israeli attacks on Iran and Iranian missile responses overnight.
- European powers urge Iran to return to nuclear negotiations while expressing concerns over ballistic missiles, Russian support, and detainees, but Iran rejects US talks as long as Israeli attacks continue.
- France’s Christophe Lemoine highlighted that pursuing diplomatic efforts is essential for Iran to fulfill its commitments under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, while Iranian officials cautioned that the activation of the UN sanctions snapback mechanism would lead to serious repercussions.
- The talks aim to prevent further escalation and nuclear proliferation as US President Trump considers potential involvement, with Britain advising nationals against travel to Israel and supporting diplomatic efforts.
