According to SAEDNEWS, Iran and Europe are currently holding talks in Geneva, the seat of the United Nations in Europe.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is talking to his counterparts from Germany, the United Kingdom, and France—known as the European troika or the E3. The European Union (E.U.)’s foreign policy chief is also in attendance.
The E3 had requested the meeting.
The subjects of the talks are the Israeli war of aggression on Iran as well as Iran’s nuclear program.
Minister Araghchi emphasized to his interlocutors that the Israeli war of aggression had to end in order for diplomacy to meaningfully continue.
The Israeli regime attacked Iran, including residential buildings in Tehran, in an unprovoked act of aggression overnight on June 13. Top Iranian military officials were assassinated in targeted strikes. Civilians died when houses were directly struck. Entire population centers were affected.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei appointed new military commanders later that same day and said life would turn bleak for Israel. Shortly afterwards, the Iranian Armed Forces promised to “open the gates of hell” to Israel and began waves of punitive strikes inside the Israeli-occupied territories, hitting sensitive sites in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, among other cities, with salvos of missiles and drones. Despite heavy Israeli censorship, abundant footage has appeared of the Iranian missiles hitting their targets in precision strikes and wreaking mayhem.
Life has come to a halt in the occupied territories as Israelis spend day and night in underground bomb shelters. Many Israelis are paying large sums of money to smugglers to take them to Greece and Cyprus by boat.
Iranian officials have said the mission will continue as long as necessary.
Bending under the Iranian strikes, the Israeli regime has been clamoring to coax the United States into joining the war of aggression on Iran. Ayatollah Khamenei has warned the United States that its potential intervention would bring America “irreparable harm.”
