UK, France, Germany Urge Restraint from Iran, Push for Immediate Return to Nuclear Talks

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

LONDON — In the wake of US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany have issued a joint statement urging Iran to avoid any further actions that could destabilize the Middle East. The three European powers called for a diplomatic path forward and a renewed commitment to addressing nuclear proliferation concerns.

“We call upon Iran to engage in negotiations that address all concerns associated with its nuclear program,” the E3 nations said in a coordinated statement released Sunday.

The leaders reaffirmed their long-standing position that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons and should act responsibly amid growing tensions in the region.

The appeal from the European allies comes after the United States launched targeted strikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities, escalating fears of a broader conflict. With Iran vowing retaliation and regional powers on high alert, the UK, France, and Germany stressed the importance of immediate de-escalation and diplomacy.

The joint call signals mounting concern in Europe over the risk of a wider war and the collapse of past diplomatic frameworks such as the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which had previously curbed Tehran’s nuclear capabilities in exchange for sanctions relief.

The statement underscores Europe’s efforts to mediate tensions and promote stability amid the fallout from military actions by the US and Israel. The three countries urged Iran to avoid any retaliatory steps that could lead to irreversible consequences for regional peace and global security.
