French President Emmanuel Macron today asked Iranian counterpart Massoud Pezkian to “quickly return to the negotiating table” on the issue of Tehran’s nuclear program and called on not to target French nationals “in Iran and anywhere”. In response, the Iranian president stressed that Tehran will not continue negotiations with the US on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program as long as Israel continues its attacks.
“My first message was to demand the immediate release of our compatriots Cecil Coolers and Jacques Paris, who have been held hostages by the Iranian regime under unacceptable circumstances for more than three years,” the French president said in X, after the telephone contact.
“In the face of the great risk of destabilization for the whole area, I asked not to target any conditions (…) our nationals in Iran and the region. I also called for maximum restraint to avoid escalation, “Macron said.
“The Iranian nuclear issue is serious: it must be resolved through negotiations,” he noted, after calling for “resume dialogue” yesterday.
“I, therefore, called President Pescian to return to the negotiating table quickly to reach an agreement, the only possible way to relieve the situation,” Macron added.
“Iran will not accept irrational pressure demands and will not sit on the table of negotiations as long as the Zionist regime continues its attacks,” Pescian told his French counterpart, according to the Iranian presidency.
The new round of US-Iran talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, scheduled for tomorrow Sunday in Muscat, will not take place, Oman Foreign Minister Badr Albusidi announced earlier today.
