US EditionEuropean Ministers to Hold Nuclear Talks with Iran on Friday in Geneva: Reuters
- Last week, Israel carried out extensive military attacks against Iran, its main adversary, which led to Iran retaliating with missile strikes targeting locations in Israel.
- These attacks heightened concerns of escalating conflict, leading Germany, France, and Britain to plan nuclear talks with Iran in Geneva on Friday.
- The talks aim to persuade Iran to guarantee its nuclear program remains solely for civilian use, with initial meetings including EU diplomat Kaja Kallas.
- German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called on Iran on Wednesday to pursue a resolution and emphasized that it is still possible to engage in dialogue, while Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed support for Israel's military actions and cautioned Iran to reduce tensions or risk facing more severe consequences.
- The outcome of these diplomatic efforts may influence regional stability as the crisis risks further intensifying amid US silence on joining Israel's military campaign.
