Top diplomats from Britain, France, Germany and the EU are set to meet Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva on Friday for high-stakes nuclear talks, officials and diplomats confirmed.
The meeting comes as European countries call for deescalation in the face of Israel's bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear program – and as U.S. President Donald Trump weighs whether to join the strikes against Tehran.
"We will meet with the European delegation in Geneva on Friday," Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement carried by state news agency IRNA.
European diplomats separately confirmed the planned talks, set to involve French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, as well as EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
Lammy was in Washington on Thursday, where he was due to meet U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for talks focused on Iran, the State Department said.
