EU Aims to Shape Iran Nuclear Discussions from the Sidelines in Geneva

On June 19, 2025, the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, known collectively as the E3, are set to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Geneva to discuss Iran’s nuclear program. The European Union, a longstanding player in these negotiations, is expected to take a backseat in this specific round of discussions, with uncertainty surrounding the participation of EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. A spokesperson for the European Commission noted the possibility of a last-minute invitation but did not provide a definitive answer when questioned. This situation hints at the EU’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, as prior to the E3-Iran meeting, the ministers are also expected to convene with Kallas at Germany’s permanent mission in Geneva, highlighting the EU’s commitment to facilitation even if not directly at the negotiation table.

The EU has historically been pivotal in the negotiations concerning Iran’s nuclear program, particularly under the framework of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). This agreement was designed to lift sanctions on Iran in exchange for guarantees regarding the peaceful nature of its nuclear ambitions. However, following the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA under President Donald Trump, the EU’s role has shifted significantly. Despite this, the upcoming talks aim to rekindle dialogue amidst escalating tensions and encourage Iran to reassure international powers that its nuclear endeavors are solely civilian-focused. The last gathering of E3 and Iranian leadership took place in January, before Trump assumed office, illustrating how geopolitical shifts have interrupted diplomatic continuity.

In recent months, the influence of the European nations in the nuclear talks has notably diminished. After the US’s withdrawal from the JCPOA, indirect negotiations between the US and Iran, facilitated by Oman, were unsuccessful, culminating in the cancellation of a sixth round of discussions. The re-emergence of military strikes on Iranian sites by Israel has further complicated the already tenuous situation. With the increasing volatility surrounding the nuclear program, the upcoming Geneva meeting raises questions about how effectively the E3 can engage Iran and whether they can bring back momentum to the stalled negotiations.

Despite the challenges, the EU remains keen on maintaining a behind-the-scenes role as a diplomatic facilitator. This includes efforts to bridge gaps among European countries themselves, as well as between Europe and the United States, to create a unified approach toward Iran. The diminishing visibility of the EU in these talks contrasts significantly with the influential presence of former High Representative Federica Mogherini, who was a strong advocate for the JCPOA. Nevertheless, there is a consensus within the EU that carefully coordinated efforts, even from the sidelines, could still positively impact the outcome of the negotiations and help foster conditions conducive to renewed multilateral diplomacy regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The diplomatic landscape surrounding Iran remains fraught with challenges, but the commitment from the E3 and EU demonstrates a willingness to explore dialogue amid escalating tensions. Diplomatic expectations are cautiously optimistic, focusing on the possibility of concrete guarantees from Iran regarding its nuclear intentions. The upcoming discussions may not only influence the nuclear dialogue but also serve as a platform for broader regional stability initiatives. Ultimately, the delicate balance between persisting diplomatic efforts and the realities of escalating conflicts will shape the outcomes of these important talks.

The future of the Iran nuclear negotiations hinges on multiple geopolitical factors, including the responses of various international actors and the internal dynamics within Iran itself. The E3’s ability to navigate these complexities and engage successfully with Iranian leadership will be critical as they aim to re-establish communication pathways. With uncertainty looming over the efficacy of these discussions, the hopes for a diplomatic resolution remain intact, albeit tempered by the reality of a rapidly evolving geopolitical environment.
