I met with Iranian President @drpezeshkian on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. First and foremost, I reiterated my demand: Cécile Kohler, Jacques Paris, and Lennart Monterlos — state hostages arbitrarily detained in Iran under inhumane conditions — must be released immediately. France never abandons its children. Our position is clear: Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. In light of Iran’s failure to comply with its nuclear obligations, together with Germany and the United Kingdom, we have decided to trigger the Snapback mechanism, allowing sanctions to be reimposed on Iran. I once again made clear to the Iranian President the demands on which we will not compromise: → Full access for IAEA inspectors in Iran. → Transparency regarding enriched material stockpiles. → The immediate resumption of negotiations. An agreement remains possible. Only a few hours are left. It is up to Iran to respond to the legitimate conditions we have set. For the security of the region, for the stability of the world.(Emmanuel Macron)
