Details: Macron stated that the outbreak of war between the US, Israel and Iran carries grave consequences for international peace and security.
Quote: "The ongoing escalation is dangerous for all. It must stop. The Iranian regime must understand that it now has no other option but to engage in good faith in negotiations to end its nuclear and ballistic programs, as well as its regional destabilisation activities. This is absolutely necessary for the security of all in the Middle East."
More details: Macron also stressed that Iranians must be able to freely determine their future.
"The massacres committed by the Islamic regime disqualify it and demand that the voice be returned to the people. The sooner, the better," the French president wrote.
