"I hope that's still possible," Johann Wadephul told German public broadcaster ARD late on Saturday. "Germany, together with France and Britain are ready. We're offering Iran immediate negotiations about the nuclear programme, I hope (the offer) is accepted."

The German foreign minister emphasised the urgency of curbing the regional threat, urging Iran to return to the table after previous missed opportunities. Officials hope this renewed offer might stabilise broader Middle Eastern tensions and ease concerns across Europe.
