The French leader has called on Iran to stop supporting destabilising factors in the Middle East, warning of the devastating consequences of a new war for a region already on the brink of conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
After congratulating Pezeschkian on his election victory on July 5, Macron called for necessary changes in Iran. He also stressed the need to stop the escalation of Iran's nuclear program and called for a diplomatic solution. Macron demanded the release of three French citizens held in Iranian prisons, considering it necessary to improve relations between Paris and Tehran.
