Talks of fate in Geneva: Europe and Iran will find first consensus!
Talks of fate in Geneva: Europe and Iran will find first consensus!
In the middle of constant tensions between Israel and Iran, which manifest themselves in an air war, the first approaches are emerging for a political solution. On June 18, 2025, the Foreign Minister of European countries and the Iranian in Geneva meet to negotiate the Iranian nuclear program. The Foreign Minister of Germany, France and Great Britain as well as the EU foreign representative Kaja Kallas take part in the talks, such as vienna.at reported.
The aim of these negotiations is that Iran guarantees to only use its nuclear program for civilian purposes. A structured dialogue at expert level is also sought after the ministerial meeting. This initiative, which was coordinated with the USA, is also supported by the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who strengthens Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul in his efforts. However, there is no statement from Tehran or Jerusalem on the developments so far.
previous negotiations and their challenges
In parallel to the conversations in Geneva, further negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program in Vienna take place. The representatives of Iran and the 5+1 group, which consists of the five UN veto paves and Germany, have the goal of finding a final solution for the decades. These negotiations are based on an interim agreement that was signed in Geneva at the end of November. The cut-off date for an agreement on a permanent agreement ends on July 20, but the last round of talks in May did not bring any noteworthy progress, such as Welt.de mentioned.In addition, there are bilateral negotiations with the USA, France and Russia, which have also been without progress so far. These tense negotiations take place against the background of a growing military presence of the United States in the Middle East. Due to security concerns, the United States withdraw its military presence, especially in the US message in Baghdad. President Donald Trump described Baghdad as a "dangerous place" and warned of Iran's possible retaliation in the event of an Israeli attack on Iranian goals.
international reactions and developments
The interaction of the United States with Iran is further complicated by the concerned findings of the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA). This reported that Iran violated the obligation to fully disclose its nuclear program. Inspectors found traces of uranium in non -announced Iranian facilities, which was considered by the Iranian leadership with unbelievable explanations. The IAEA boss Rafael Grossi said that there are no certainties that the Iranian nuclear program serves only peaceful purposes. In response to the IAEA decision, the Iranian government announced the construction of a new uranium enrichment system as well as an increase in uranium production, such as dw.com reported.
The partly escalating situation in the Middle East makes the international community look tangled at the upcoming negotiations. The hope of a peaceful solution remains, but the hurdles are still high.
