Diplomatic Race Against Time: Lammy's Crucial Geneva Talks on Iran's Nuclear Program

British Foreign Minister David Lammy is set to attend nuclear talks in Geneva, aiming for a diplomatic solution with Iran and European allies amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. This follows his Washington visit where he met with U.S. officials, stressing the importance of preventing Iran's nuclear armament.

Amid growing international tensions, British Foreign Minister David Lammy is scheduled to travel to Geneva for crucial nuclear discussions with Iran and European allies. As hostilities between Israel and Iran escalate, Lammy seeks a diplomatic solution to Tehran's nuclear ambitions, a move his office confirmed on Thursday.

Lammy's Geneva visit follows talks in Washington with key U.S. figures, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff. The discussions underscored a shared objective: preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, a stance robustly backed by Israel.

In Geneva, Lammy will join his counterparts from France and Germany, along with the EU's chief diplomat, Kaja Kallas, to engage with Iran's foreign minister. The outcome of these talks could influence U.S. President Donald Trump's decision on potential U.S. involvement siding with Israel, with a resolution expected within two weeks.
