Following the US attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran, Foreign Minister Wadephul remains committed to negotiations. Iran must hold talks with the US, he said in the Report from Berlin. There is"every possibility of ending this conflict peacefully."

Following the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul urged a negotiated solution in the Berlin Report."Everyone knows: There must be a negotiated solution," said the CDU politician.

After the escalation, Iran must now enter into direct talks with the US."Now a new opportunity must be seized. And I hope that there will be no further escalation, but that real talks will take place." Germany and its European allies want to support this process."There is every possibility of ending this conflict peacefully and through agreement," Wadephul said. But this requires Iran's willingness.

"Iran has itself crossed red lines"

At the same time, he emphasized that uranium enrichment in Iran had gone"far beyond any meaningful civilian use." "This means that Iran itself has crossed red lines." Germany has always maintained that this nuclear program is dangerous for Israel.

The US"obviously felt compelled to take this step based on intelligence findings," Wadephul said."Nobody approves of a military conflict continuing." Therefore, Germany, together with Great Britain and France,"will continue to make every effort to ensure that we negotiate seriously now."

When asked whether the US's actions are in line with international law, Wadephul is evasive. He says this cannot be conclusively determined at this point. However, he says it is legitimate to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

In a joint statement, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also called on Tehran to negotiate."We have consistently made it clear that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. Iran must no longer pose a threat to regional security," they said."We call on Iran to begin negotiations on an agreement that eliminates all concerns about its nuclear program." The statement merely mentions the US attacks on Iran, but does not assess them.

In conversation with Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister, on the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities

Iran rejects halt to nuclear program

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, rejected calls for a complete halt to its nuclear program."We are sincere members of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty," Takht-Ravanchi said in the Berlin report. On this basis, his country has pursued uranium enrichment for the peaceful use of nuclear energy."No one can tell us what we should and should not do as long as we remain within the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty."

Takht-Ravanchi declined to comment on the damage to the nuclear facilities as a result of the US military strike.
