Diplomats from Great Britain, France, Germany and the European Union met with Iran Foreign Minister pushed the country on Friday, a week after the nuclear discussions were able to continue diplomacy with the USA, to attacks between Iran and Israel.
“We want to continue the ongoing discussions and negotiations with Iran, and we ask Iran to continue their talks with the United States,” said British Foreign Minister David Lammy. “We were clear: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
The meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, was the first face to face with an Iranian leader since the Flashpoint last weekend.
“The good result is today that we leave the room with the impression that the Iranian team is fundamentally willing to continue talking about all important questions,” said German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul. He said the two sides had “very serious conversations”.

The meeting with the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi took more than three hours.
“Military operations can slow down the Iranian nuclear nuclear program, but in no way you can eliminate it,” said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. “We know well – after seeing what in Afghanistan, Iraq, in Libya – how illusory and dangerous it is to impose a change of regime from outside.”
In a joint explanation, France, Great Britain, Germany and the EU said that they shared their “serious concerns” with Araghchi in relation to the escalation of tensions in the Middle East and repeated their fixed commitment to the company Israel Security “add that” all pages should take steps that lead to further escalation in the region and urgently find a negotiated solution to ensure that Iran never receives or acquires a nuclear weapon “.
On the early Friday, Israel started air strikes against Iranian nuclear weapons after nuclear discussions seemed to be, which prompted Iran to retaliate. The two countries continue to act strikes.

On Friday, the European diplomats repeated “their many years of concerns about the expansion of the Iranian nuclear program by the Iranian nuclear program, which has no credible civilian purpose, which violates almost all JCPOA regulations”.
They added that they “discussed the possibilities for a negotiated solution for the nuclear program of Iran and at the same time emphasized the urgency of the matter. They expressed their willingness to continue discussing all questions relevant to the Iranian nuclear program”, and asked IAEA to work with the IAEA.

“Yes, I can do it. I might not do it. I mean nobody knows what I will do. I can tell you that Iran has a lot of difficulty and want to negotiate you,” Trump told the US, Iran potentially beating on Wednesday, as it continues to be fatal strike with Israel. “And I said why didn’t you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn’t you go? I said to people, why didn’t you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done it well. You would have had a country. It’s very sad to see that.”
Trump said reporters on Friday that the United States was “ready and able” to speak to Iran and added that Iran does not want to speak to Europe. “You want to speak to us. Europe will not help,” he said.
He added that in 2003 he was against Iraq against the war against mass extermination, which the Iran did not believe that there was weapons to exterminate the mass that the Iran builds a nuclear weapon, and said that the director of the National Secret Service Tulsi Gabbard is “wrong” if there is not enough evidence to close.
“The material you have already gathered. It is an enormous amount of material. And I think within a few weeks or certainly within a few months you will be able to have a nuclear weapon,” he said. “We can’t allow that.”
