Germany, France and Britain have declared themselves ready to enter talks with Iran with the aim of preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The three European powers want a negotiated path that would place limits on Iran's nuclear program. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan also weighed in on the wider confrontation. He warned that a new military attack on Iran would only expand the conflict. In his assessment, diplomacy is the only way to bring the war to an end. His remarks come amid persistent fears of renewed escalation in the region. European capitals have pressed for dialogue while Tehran has so far resisted outside pressure without fully closing the door to negotiations.
