EU leaders react to US attacks on Iran – level 1

EU leaders react to US attacks on Iran

24-06-2025 15:00

Many leaders in Europe want peace talks with Iran. They say that Iran must not get a nuclear bomb. They do not say the US attack is good. But they want to stop fighting.

Some leaders, like Ursula von der Leyen, want to talk more. Italy has a big online meeting with other leaders. They want to help the sides talk together. Finland says that fighting must stop.

France does not join the US attack. Macron talks to leaders in the Middle East. He tells Iran to stay calm and talk. But Iran does not want to talk now.

Difficult words: peace talks (talks between countries or leaders to stop a fight), side (one of the people or groups who take part in a fight, war, and so on), join (to take part).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Which nation organized a large online meeting with other leaders to help facilitate dialogue between the sides?
