European foreign ministers, meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Geneva, urged Iran to continue talks with the United States to end the conflict with Israel, Sky News reports .

"We are keen to continue the ongoing discussions and negotiations with Iran and encourage Iran to continue negotiations with the United States.
