France: The Iranian nuclear issue cannot be resolved by military means.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stressed on Friday that the Iranian nuclear issue cannot be resolved by military means.

In a press statement in Geneva, Switzerland, he said he met with British Foreign Minister David Lammy and German Foreign Minister Johann Wolfgang Amadeus to ease tensions in the Middle East and resolve security issues, including Iran's nuclear program.

On Friday evening, a meeting was held in Geneva bringing together the foreign ministers of Iran, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, as well as Kaya Kallas, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, to discuss regional developments, particularly the Iranian nuclear issue and the recent escalation between Israel and Iran.

"We wanted to start the meeting with the Iranian Foreign Minister (Abbas Araqchi) because we believe there is no final military solution to the Iranian nuclear issue," Barrow added.

He continued: "This issue can only be resolved through negotiations."
