European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke over the phone, the former informed in a post on X on Saturday.
During the call, Araghchi stressed that it would be "unjustifiable" to continue negotiations with the United States regarding Tehran's nuclear program in Oman this Sunday amid Israel's strikes.
"Risk of further escalation in the region is dangerously high. Diplomacy must prevail. The EU has always been clear: Iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. Only diplomacy can lead to a lasting solution. The EU is ready to support," Kallas wrote in the post.
