France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian on Wednesday May 09,2018 said the Iran nuclear
deal was not dead despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to
pull out of it, and French President Emmanuel Macron would speak to his
Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani later in the day.
“The deal is not dead. There’s an American withdrawal from the deal but it is still there,” he said.
“The region deserves better than further destabilisation provoked by American withdrawal. 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 U.S., France, Germany, Britain, Russia, China and Iran, lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for Tehran limiting its nuclear programme. The pact was designed to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb.
