France Urges Iran to Return to Nuclear Deal
The French government has called on Iran to “quickly” return to compliance to the 2015 Nuclear Deal and prevent further escalations in the Gulf.
The call was made during a meeting between Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, and President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Tuesday, according to a statement by the French Foreign Ministry.
“[This meeting] served to remind the Iranian president’s envoy that we expect Iran to return quickly in accordance with its commitments under the Vienna Agreement and to take the necessary steps to engage in an essential de-escalation,” reads the statement.
Macron, according to Sputnik, tried to initiate mediation between Tehran and Washington, but no agreement was made. Source
