GENEVA – Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul of germany, along with his counterparts from France and Great Britain, are scheduled to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi on Friday. According to the German press agency, the meeting is planned to take place in Geneva.

The meeting comes after WadePhul adjusted his planned trip to Lebanon, Syria, and israel following the Israeli attack on Iran.Instead, he traveled to saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman for urgent discussions. Oman is known to have strong diplomatic ties with Tehran.

WadePhul’s diplomatic tour aims to foster a collaborative effort between the E3 countries (Germany, France, and Great Britain) and Arab nations to find a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict. The E3 countries have been in talks with tehran for years regarding its nuclear program.

prior to the Israeli attack, the United States and Iran engaged in negotiations in Oman for nearly two months. Tensions escalated after Israel launched a major attack on Iran, which was met with intensive rocket fire from Iran.

Negotiations Stalled After War Broke Out

A new round of talks in Oman, originally scheduled for last Sunday, was canceled due to the escalating conflict. Negotiations had previously reached an impasse over uranium enrichment. Iran had recently enriched material close to weapon-grade levels. While Tehran expressed willingness to limit its program as outlined in the 2015 Vienna Nuclear Agreement, it insisted on maintaining its enrichment capabilities.

US President Donald Trump reiterated his demand for an “unconditional surrender” on Wednesday, while also suggesting that further negotiations were still possible. Trump withdrew the United States from the Vienna nuclear agreement in 2018, leading to tehran’s non-compliance with the agreement’s requirements.

Conflict Persists

During a meeting with his Jordanian counterpart, Aiman ​​Al-Safadi, in berlin on Wednesday, WadePhul announced a planned meeting with his french colleague Jean-Noël Barrot, British Foreign Minister David Lammy, and EU foreign officer Kaja Kallas on Monday. He emphasized the continued readiness to negotiate a solution, urging tehran to take “trust-building and verifiable measures” to demonstrate that it is not pursuing nuclear weapons. He stated, “It is indeed never too late to get to the negotiating table if you get honestly.”

The conflict between Israel and Iran continues.observers have expressed concerns regarding the prospects for a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear dispute. Israel has justified its actions by citing the “existential threat” posed by Iran’s nuclear and rocket program.
