UK, German, and French Foreign Ministers to Hold High-Level Talks with Iran on June 20 in Geneva

World 11:44 19.06.2025

The foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Germany, and France are scheduled to meet with Iran's foreign minister on June 20 in Geneva for high-level diplomatic talks. The meeting aims to address the growing tensions in the Middle East, particularly the escalating confrontation between Iran and Israel, as well as to explore avenues for renewed diplomatic engagement.

This trilateral initiative—often referred to as the “E3” within the framework of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—seeks to revive direct dialogue with Tehran amidst deteriorating regional security and global concerns over Iran’s nuclear activities.

The Geneva meeting is expected to focus on key issues including:

The risk of further military escalation in the Middle East;
The current state and future of Iran’s nuclear program;
The need for restoring communication channels between Iran and Western nations;
Humanitarian and regional security implications of continued hostilities.
European diplomats have repeatedly emphasized the need for de-escalation and the importance of diplomacy over confrontation. By convening this meeting, the UK, Germany, and France are demonstrating a unified approach to mitigating regional risks and promoting long-term stability through engagement.

This development comes as the international community closely monitors the rapidly evolving situation in the region, with hopes that diplomacy can still offer a path away from open conflict.
