00:00A meeting between top European diplomats and Iran's foreign minister on Friday yielded hopes of further talks,
00:07but no indication of any immediate breakthrough in the Israel-Iran conflict.
00:12The meeting in Geneva had the EU's foreign policy chief, Kaya Callas, and foreign ministers from Britain, Germany and France.
00:20Nous avons voulu ouvrir une discussion avec le ministre iranien des Affaires étrangères, car nous considérons qu'il n'y a pas de solution définitive par la voie militaire au problème du nucléaire iranien.
00:33Les opérations militaires peuvent le retarder, mais ils ne peuvent pas l'éliminer.
00:38C'est pourquoi c'est par la négociation que ce problème sera résolu.
00:42Iran is ready to consider diplomacy once again, and once aggression is stopped and the aggressor is held accountable for the crimes committed.
00:53In this regard, I made it crystal clear that Iran's defense capabilities are not negotiable.
00:59A week after Israel's attacks on Iran, the message from Geneva was clear.
01:04Europe is serious about finding a political solution to this conflict.
01:09But the key question remains, can Europe take the lead again as just they did in 2015?
