Germany urges Iran to engage constructively in Geneva nuclear talks

BERLIN, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Germany is urging Iran to stop seeking nuclear weapons, to restrict its ballistic missile programme and to cease destabilising the wider region, a foreign office spokesperson said on Wednesday, ahead of fresh nuclear talks in Geneva.

"We expect Iran to seize the opportunity to engage constructively in the (Geneva) talks," the spokesperson said.

The talks are set to take place on Thursday in Geneva, a senior U.S. official said on Monday, with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner slated to meet with the Iranian delegation for the negotiations.
