The foreign ministers of Germany, France, and Britain are set to hold talks with Iran’s top diplomat in Geneva as the conflict between Israel and Iran enters its second week. The high-stakes meeting comes after Israel announced it had targeted an Iranian nuclear weapons research and development facility in a recent strike.

Tensions between Israel and Iran have intensified over the past week, with both sides engaging in military actions. Israel confirmed it carried out a strike on an Iranian nuclear facility, described as a key site for nuclear weapons research and development. Tehran has yet to release an official statement on the extent of the damage but has vowed retaliation.

The emergency meeting in Geneva signals growing international concern over the risk of further escalation. German Foreign Minister [Name], French Foreign Minister [Name], and British Foreign Secretary [Name] are expected to press their Iranian counterpart to de-escalate tensions and return to diplomatic negotiations.

European officials have repeatedly warned against further hostilities, fearing a broader regional conflict. The talks may also address stalled negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, which have been at a standstill since the collapse of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The United States has expressed support for Israel’s security while urging restraint. Meanwhile, Russia and China have called for an immediate ceasefire, blaming Western policies for inflaming Middle East tensions.
