President Macron urged Iran to “show that it is willing to join the platform for negotiations we are putting on the table.” He stressed the importance of returning to meaningful talks with Iran. These negotiations, he added, must cover critical issues, including:
- Nuclear Program: Moving towards “zero enrichment” of uranium by Iran.
- Ballistics: Limiting Iran’s missile capabilities.
- Terrorist Financing: Stopping the funding of groups that destabilize the region.
Macron underscored the serious risks involved, insisting that “no one should neglect the risk that an Iran with nuclear weapons would present.” He maintained that an Iran with nuclear weapons would pose an “existential risk” for Israel
