Jean-Yves Le Drian told RTL radio that France wanted to stick to the nuclear accord that Tehran agreed with world powers in 2015 - a pact which he said Iran had honoured. Macron’s meeting would be followed by high-level talks between the Iranians and Britain and Germany, as well as France, Le Drian said. There’s an American withdrawal from the deal but the deal is still there,” he said. So we want to adhere to it and see to it that Iran does too, that Iran behaves with restraint.”The 2015 agreement, worked out by the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Russia, China and Iran, lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for Tehran limiting its nuclear programme. Other countries that helped Iran develop its nuclear programme would also face sanctions, he added.
