Paris [France], June 22: French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday he intends to press ahead with attempts to find a diplomatic solution to the Iran-Israel conflict, following a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
"I am convinced that a path exists to end war and avoid even greater dangers," Macron wrote on X. "To achieve this, we will accelerate the negotiations led by France and its European partners with Iran." The French president said he expressed his "deep concern" about Iran's nuclear programme during the call, which Pezeshkian had initiated.
"Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons, and it is up to Iran to provide full guarantees that its intentions are peaceful," he wrote. Iran initially made no comment on the conversation. (DPA)
