Geneva talks begin to curb Israel-Iran conflict
A key international meeting aimed at ending the hostilities between Israel and Iran commenced on Friday in Geneva, launching an intensive two-week diplomatic initiative to avert a broader conflict in the Middle East.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul are holding talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to address Tehran's nuclear activities and identify potential diplomatic off-ramps to avoid escalation. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas is also attending the meeting, News.Az reports citing foreign media.
The talks come a week into Israel's strikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities and retaliatory attacks by Iran.
The Geneva negotiations are seen as a critical step toward building momentum ahead of next week's NATO summit in The Hague, where Middle East security is expected to dominate discussions.
