Global Talks Intensify Over High-Stakes Iran-Israel Conflict

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a significant diplomatic meeting with British Foreign Minister David Lammy, alongside calls with the Australian, French, and Italian foreign ministers. The talks centered on the heightened tensions involving Israel and Iran.

The U.S. State Department emphasized a consensus among ministers, insisting that 'Iran can never develop or acquire a nuclear weapon.' British Foreign Minister Lammy echoed this on social media, noting the perilous conditions in the Middle East and the critical two-week window for a potential diplomatic solution.

As Iran and Israel's airstrikes continue, President Donald Trump faces crucial decisions on potential U.S. military involvement. While Israel aims to prevent Iranian nuclear advancements, Iran claims its nuclear goals are peaceful. Amidst rising casualties, European ministers are set to meet Iran's foreign minister to diffuse regional hostilities.
