German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated that Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are prepared to negotiate with Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons. Baerbock also called for support for Saudi Arabia and Yemen's self-defense, and for the resumption of concrete negotiations with the Houthis. Previously, all participating countries at the Istanbul conference, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, opposed attacking Iran, believing diplomacy to be the only solution.
