Europe is scrambling to form a united front and regain relevance in the Iran crisis
Briefly

European nations are facing challenges in regaining their influence in the Middle East as the Iran crisis exposes their divided and marginalized stance. With Donald Trump's focus shifting away from long-term stability in the region, European leaders are proactively engaging with Iran. Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, has communicated with the Iranian foreign minister, advocating for continued dialogue and the presence of UN weapons inspectors. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron has sought discussion with Vladimir Putin regarding nuclear proliferation and potential deals with Iran, reflecting Europe's longstanding diplomacy efforts. However, Iran's skepticism towards Europe's ability to impact U.S. policy dampens hope for effective negotiations.
The European nations are striving to regain influence in Middle Eastern negotiations as fears grow over a less stable Iran under Donald Trump's administration, which has focused more on neutralizing Tehran's nuclear ambitions than on broader regional stability.
European leaders, including France's Emmanuel Macron, are reaching out to facilitate discussions with Iran, hoping to stabilize the country's nuclear activities and reinstate some form of diplomatic meaningfulness lost during tensions.
