Gate News bot news, according to a Reuters report, a German diplomatic source stated that the foreign ministers of Germany, France, and the UK plan to hold nuclear talks with the Iranian foreign minister in Geneva on Friday. The source said that the three foreign ministers will first meet with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell at Germany's permanent mission in Geneva, and then hold joint talks with the Iranian foreign minister.

Last week, Israel launched a large-scale military strike against Iran, and Iran also fired multiple missiles at Israeli targets in response, raising concerns about the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. The European initiative was proposed against this backdrop of concern. U.S. President Donald Trump refused to disclose whether the United States would join its ally Israel in military actions, exacerbating concerns that the crisis could escalate. According to German sources, the talks between Iran and Europe are being coordinated with the United States, aiming to persuade the Iranian side to firmly guarantee that its nuclear program is solely for civilian purposes. According to sources, there will be an expert-level structured dialogue after the talks. Israel has stated that its goal is to eliminate Tehran's ability to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies that its nuclear program is for military purposes.
