US EditionIran, European officials to hold first meeting since Israel conflict began
- On Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met in Geneva with European counterparts for the first face-to-face talks since the week-old Israel-Iran conflict began.
- The meeting followed Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites last week, aimed at preventing Iran from nearing nuclear weapon capability.
- Araghchi stated Iran is not seeking negotiations while Israeli attacks continue and rejected talks with the US, though it is open to dialogue with others.
- British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said a diplomatic solution window exists within two weeks and he will decide whether the US military will intervene based on negotiation progress.
- The talks aim to secure Iran's commitment to civilian nuclear use and may be followed by expert-level dialogue, while German and French officials urge Iran to show seriousness to prevent escalation.
