The president of France Emmanuel Macron stated today that “the ball is in Iran’s court” on reviving the nuclear deal with the major powers and that the proposal on the table, even if it will not resolve all the differences, is better than no proposal at all.
The Iran received Washington’s response to the final proposal drawn up by the European Union to save the 2015 deal, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday. But he gave no indication of it to what extent the gap that separated the two sides has been closed.
After 16 months of indirect negotiations, with European officials acting as messengers between the US and Iranthe head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said on August 8 that Brussels presented the “final sentence» them. Iran responded last week with its own “additional views and observations” while calling on the US to show flexibility to resolve three outstanding issues.
Macron held talks today with Raphael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which oversees Iran’s nuclear program and is investigating its possible past activities.
“We have been very careful to ensure balance in this very serious deal“, said the French president speaking to journalists during his visit to Algeria. “Now the ball is in Iran’s court“, he added. Paris will support the IAEA to ensure that outstanding issues are not influenced by political pressures.
“I believe that this agreement, if implemented on the terms that exist today, is useful and is better than no agreement“, Macron said according to the Athens News Agency. He explained that the deal would not solve all issues and said more talks were needed with Tehran regarding its ballistic missile program, its influence in the region and “multiple destabilization (actions)”.
