European countries seek fresh talks with Iran over nuclear programme

Larnaca [Cyprus], June 17: Germany, France and Britain want to resume talks with Tehran over Iran's nuclear programme at short notice, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Monday.
The three countries have held four meetings with Iranian leaders in recent months, and efforts to continue talks are ongoing, the minister said. Iran is currently in the midst of a severe escalation of fighting with Israel.
"We will once again make our clear position explicit there that we can only achieve a contractual settlement and avoid further military conflicts if Iran is fully prepared to refrain from using nuclear technology for military purposes," Wadephul said during a stopover in Cyprus after a multi-day visit to the Middle East.
The government in Tehran must understand the urgency of the situation, the German foreign minister argued. (DPA)
