European nations, IAEA urge talks to end nuclear theat from Iran

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that he hoped Israel and the United States' actions in Iran will permanently dissuade Tehran from pursuing its goals for nuclear weapons. "Not only Israel, but also Europe and the world as a whole are threatened by this Iranian nuclear programme," Merz told lawmakers in the Bundestag lower house of parliament.

Speaking ahead of a NATO summit in The Hague this week, Merz warned that the conflict with Iran must not be allowed to plunge the region into war and Berlin was taking all possible diplomatic efforts to that end.

The French foreign ministry called on Iran to engage immediately in negotiations for an accord over its nuclear and ballistic programs.
"France urges Iran to engage without delay in negotiations leading to an agreement that addresses all concerns related to its nuclear and ballistic programs and its destabilizing activities," the ministry said in a statement.
