France's Macron: Iran must show its willingness to return to negotiating table.
In a significant development, French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Iran to demonstrate its willingness to return to the negotiating table, following a series of escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. Macron's stance was underscored by a series of diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating the conflict.According to Macron's office, the French president ordered Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot to draw up a plan with close European partners to propose a demanding negotiated settlement to end the conflict. The initiative comes amid growing international concern over the escalation of violence and the potential for further civilian casualties [2].
Germany, France, and Britain have also indicated their readiness to hold immediate talks with Iran over its nuclear programme. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that these talks are crucial for de-escalating the conflict and ensuring that Iran does not pose a threat to the region or Europe [1]. Wadephul emphasized that the conflict can only be resolved through concerted efforts from all sides.
Macron has also urged Israel to cease strikes on targets not linked to Iran's nuclear or ballistic missile programmes, highlighting the need to avoid civilian casualties and prevent further escalation. He has expressed concern over the rising number of civilian victims in both Iran and Israel and called for an urgent end to military operations [2].
The French president's call for Iran to return to the negotiating table comes at a critical juncture, as the international community seeks to prevent a full-blown nuclear crisis. Macron's efforts, along with those of other European leaders, underscore the importance of diplomatic solutions in managing the complex geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.
