According to Reuters, the ministers will first meet with the main European Union diplomat, Kaya Kallas, in Germany's permanent mission in Geneva, before holding a joint meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister.
The European initiative comes amid fears of an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East after Israel took on widespread military attacks on its sworn enemy, Iran, and Iran responded with missile waves on Israeli targets last week.
President Donald Trump has refused to say whether the United States will join its ally Israel's military campaign, which has raised concerns about a further escalation of the crisis.
The goal of talks between Iran and Europeans, which the German source told Reuters that they are being held in co-ordination with the United States, is to convince the Iranian side to provide solid guarantees that its nuclear programme will only be used for civilian purposes.
According to the same source, the talks would follow a structured dialogue at the expert level.
Israel has declared its aim is to eliminate Tehran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon.
