France warns that a "military confrontation" with Iran will be "almost inevitable" if negotiations on its nuclear program fail.
Today, Wednesday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Nawil Barrow said before the National Assembly (Parliament) that "in the event of failure, a military confrontation appears almost inevitable, which will have a high cost of shaking the region seriously."
This comes days after US President Donald Trump vowed to "bomb" Iran if it continues to develop its nuclear program.
Fears are increasing that things are complicated with the arrival of talks on Iran's nuclear program to a dead end.
Today, Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron held a meeting of the Defense Council on Iran, while Tehran faces a set of challenges and strategic crises in the Middle East.
"After 10 years have passed since an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program is reached, it is still our confidence and conviction."He continued: "Iran should never have a nuclear weapon," explaining that "our priority is to reach an agreement that permits the Iranian nuclear program permanently and can be achieved."
The French Foreign Minister acknowledged the tight margin of time, stressing that "only a few months remain before us until the end ... this agreement."
decades ago, the West suspected, in the forefront of the United States, that Iran is seeking to possess a nuclear weapon, but Tehran denies these accusations and says that its nuclear program is exclusively dedicated to civil purposes.
Iran, Ali Khamenei, vowed today, Monday, to a "severe blow" to those who assault his country, after he threatened the American president to strike Iran in the event that an agreement was not reached with it regarding its nuclear file.
In 2015, Iran and the major powers (China, Russia, the United States, France and the United Kingdom) and Germany concluded an agreement stipulating a number of sanctions against it in exchange for imposing restrictions on its nuclear program.
But in 2018, Trump withdrew his country from the nuclear agreement, and re -imposed sanctions on Iran.
“The hostage of the state”
On the other hand, the French Foreign Minister condemned the policy of "the hostages of the state" in Iran, and announced that Paris would soon submit a complaint against Tehran before the International Court of Justice "for violating the right to consular protection" for French citizens who are still being held in Iran.
"We will increase the pressure on the Iranian regime" to release Cecil Kuller and Jack Barry, who has been detained since 2022, announcing additional European sanctions "on Iranian officials on the hostage policy in the coming days.Cecil Kuller was arrested with her life partner, Jack Barry, in May 2022 in Iran, and the Iranian judiciary charged them with “espionage”, who are detained in Iwien prison in Tehran.
last September, the Iranian judiciary announced the end of the investigation of their file, paving the way for a possible trial.
The Koller family denounces the conditions of its detention and cannot communicate with it regularly.
"In the face of unacceptable violations of our citizens' right to consular protection, it is just as part of the harsh conditions for their detention."He continued: "It is announced before you that we will soon file a complaint against Iran before the International Court of Justice for violating the right to consular protection."
