Speaking to the press during his visit to Le Bourget International Air and Space Show, President Macron explained that the “offer” will be presented this Friday in Geneva, where Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will meet with his counterparts from the three European powers.

The proposal from Paris, Berlin, and London to Tehran will also cover the issues of ballistic missiles and the financing of groups that the West considers terrorist.

“A return to substantive negotiations is absolutely necessary,” he said, in a context marked by the eighth day of exchanges of attacks between Iran and Israel, which began last Friday.

France was among the countries that reached an agreement with Tehran in 2015 to limit its actions to uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes, in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, a pact that US President Donald Trump had boycotted since his previous term. In an effort to end the ongoing conflict, Macron directed French diplomacy to take the initiative, along with European partners, to propose a “demanding solution” to end the war.

Also this week, during his participation in the G-7 Summit in Canada, the French president expressed his rejection of the idea of imposing regime change on Iran, arguing that it could lead to chaos in the Middle East, remembering the results of the interventions in Libya and Iraq.

“I do not support military action against the ruling power to prevent any political destabilization and a fall into chaos,” he emphasized in Kananaskis.
