The United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy have welcomed the recent understanding reached between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending the Middle East conflict. In a joint statement, the four European nations announced their readiness to lift sanctions imposed on Iran, provided that Tehran takes clear and verifiable steps regarding its nuclear program.

The statement emphasized that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons and that the four countries are prepared to work with the United States, Iran, and the International Atomic Energy Agency to achieve this goal. They also pledged to cooperate closely with regional partners to maintain positive progress and pursue a long-term diplomatic solution.

This development signals a coordinated European approach to support the US-Iran agreement and potentially ease long-standing tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear activities, contingent upon Tehran’s compliance with international verification measures.
