There are international calls to seek a diplomatic solution amid rising tensions in the Middle East and to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. That's according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and key international allies who discussed the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.
Rubio met with British Foreign Minister David Lammy and held separate calls with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, and Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to discuss the ongoing conflict.
They all agreed that "Iran can never develop or acquire a nuclear weapon."
Lammy emphasized that while the Middle East "remains perilous" and that a "window now exists within the next two weeks to achieve a diplomatic solution."
The White House announced that President Donald Trump will decide within two weeks whether the U.S. will intervene militarily, amid mixed signals from the administration.
Israel justifies its strikes as preventing Iran’s nuclear weapon development, while Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and said it doesn't have the capability of creating nuclear weapons.
The conflict escalated after Israel launched air strikes on Iran on13 June, intensifying a region already tense since Israel's military campaign in Gaza began in October 2023 against Hamas.
Meanwhile, European foreign ministers from Germany, France and Britain and the European Union's top diplomat Kaja Kallas, are scheduled to meet Iran’s foreign minister in Geneva on Friday (20 June) in an attempt to de-escalate the conflict.
