PNN – In a predictable move, the three European countries of Britain, France, and Germany not only failed to condemn the US aggression against Iran’s nuclear facilities, but also brazenly called on Iran to return to negotiations.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, after the US’s aggressive action in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, many countries around the world, from the Middle East and Eurasia to Latin America, condemned the aggression. This is while, as expected and predicted, the three European countries of Britain, France, and Germany, and before them the European Union’s foreign policy chief, did not condemn this action that violates international norms and rules, and instead called on Iran to return to the negotiating table, which, according to our country’s Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi, it had not left at all and wanted to return to.
According to media reports, European Union foreign policy chief Kaia Kallas called on Sunday for a reduction in tensions and a return to negotiations following the US attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites. Kallas wrote in X: I call on all parties to take a step back, return to the negotiating table, and refrain from any further escalation of tensions.
He claimed: Iran should not produce nuclear weapons and the European Union foreign ministers will discuss this situation on Monday.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also called on Iran to return to the negotiating table on Sunday after the US attacks on Tehran’s nuclear sites.
Starmer wrote in X: Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons and the US has taken steps to reduce this threat. Stability in the region is a priority.
He added: We call on Iran to return to the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.
The French Foreign Ministry also announced, without condemning the US attack on our country’s nuclear facilities: France expresses its concern following the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and calls on all parties to exercise restraint to avoid any escalation that could lead to an escalation of the conflict.
Without referring to the Israeli regime’s nuclear arsenal in West Asia and the regime’s refusal to accept the NPT treaty, the ministry claimed that the Iranian nuclear issue should be resolved through negotiations within the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
France also stated that it had no role in the attacks or their planning.
According to Reuters, the German Chancellor also said: We call on Iran to enter into urgent negotiations with the United States and Israel to reach a diplomatic solution.
According to a German government spokesman, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz called on Iran to enter into talks with the United States and Israel as soon as possible to find a diplomatic solution to the current conflict.
He added: Meretz will closely coordinate with his counterparts in the European Union and the United States regarding taking further steps in this direction within today.
In addition to the European troika, several other countries that revolve around them did not condemn the US’s hostile action against Iran.
The Australian government spokesman claimed in this regard: We have made it clear that Iran’s nuclear and missile programs are a threat to international peace and security. We reiterate the US President’s statement that now is the time for peace. The security situation in the region is extremely tense. We continue to call for de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy.
The Italian Foreign Minister also claimed: We now hope that after this attack, which has caused widespread damage to nuclear weapons production and posed a threat to the entire region, de-escalation has begun and Iran can sit at the negotiating table.
