Macron Urges ‘Dialogue and Multilateralism’ on Iran

French President Emmanuel Macron called Tuesday for “dialogue and multilateralism” on Iran, in a thinly veiled response to President Donald Trump’s push for tough, US-led sanctions.

Speaking at the UN General Assembly shortly after Trump, the French leader credited the 2015 accord rejected by Trump with “curbing the nuclear program of Iran”.

“What will bring a real solution to the situation in Iran and what has already stabilized it? The law of the strongest? Pressure from only one side? No!” Macron said.

“We know that Iran was on a nuclear military path but what stopped it? The 2015 Vienna accord,” he said
