I recently spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezzekian and, given the serious risk of instability across the region, emphasized that our diplomatic facilities and citizens in Iran and the region should not be targeted under any circumstances; I also called for maximum restraint to prevent an escalation of tensions.
The issue of Iran’s nuclear program is a serious issue that must be resolved through negotiations.
Therefore, I invited President Pezizkian to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible to reach an agreement, because this is the only way to reduce tensions.
France is ready to play a role in this path and to make every effort to achieve this goal.
Macron’s message was published while Iranian media had previously reported that the president emphasized that the Iranian government has never sought war, but has no hesitation in defending itself with authority, and that sitting at the negotiating table while the Zionist regime’s attacks continue is a false idea.
