UK, France, Germany urge return to negotiations after US strikes Iran

The leaders of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are urging the United States to return to negotiations with Iran following early Saturday US-Israeli strikes. They emphasized the need to pursue a diplomatic path to de-escalate tensions and prevent further conflict in the region.

Officials called for restraint from all sides and stressed that renewed talks should aim to address Iran’s nuclear program and regional tensions through diplomacy rather than force. The three countries warned that continued escalation could threaten regional stability and global security.

Meanwhile, allied capitals urged a unified approach, signaling that a durable agreement with Tehran requires comprehensive dialogue, verification measures, and adherence to international agreements. They urged the U.S. administration to re-engage with Iran promptly to avert further instability.
