EU leaders react to US attacks on Iran – level 2
24-06-2025 15:00
European leaders want Iran and others to return to peace talks. They say Iran should not make nuclear weapons. They don’t fully support the US attack but ask for calm and respect for international rules.
Von der Leyen and other leaders said only talks can stop the danger. Finland and Germany say the violence must stop. Italy had a big meeting and said they would try to help the two sides talk.
France didn’t support the US strikes and asked Iran to stay calm. Macron spoke with leaders in the Middle East and asked Iran to stop and talk again. Many leaders agree that only peace talks can bring safety. But Iran doesn’t seem ready to talk yet.
Difficult words: peace talks (talks between countries or governments to end conflict), strike (an attack).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
