Foreign ministers from the UK, France, and Germany are due to meet their Iranian counterpart in Geneva on Friday, as international efforts intensify to ease the conflict with Israel over Tehran’s nuclear programme.

The talks come as US President Donald Trump says he will decide within two weeks whether to join Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Iran, amid reports that Washington is actively considering intervention.

Meanwhile, following a meeting in Washington with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy described the situation in the Middle East as “perilous”.

Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahraini, told Euronews that “the minimum thing Europeans can do is to very explicitly condemn Israel and stop their support for Israel.”

Meanwhile, Israel’s Defence Minister, Israel Katz, said Iran’s supreme leader “can no longer be allowed to exist,” as strikes between the two countries continue.
