The foreign minister of France urged Iran to embrace a plan to resurrect a nuclear agreement on Monday and warned that things would not get any better.
Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna could not completely rule out the possibility that President Emmanuel Macron and his colleague Ebrahim Raisi will meet at the opening of the annual UN General Assembly in New York.
We’ll see what this week has in store, she informed the media. The window of opportunity appears to be about to close once more.
There is no greater deal for Iran, we keep reiterating, she remarked. “It’s their choice,” the speaker said.
In an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” Raisi said he was open to a “decent” deal but demanded assurances from President Joe Biden that the US won’t withdraw from the agreement again under a future leader—a commitment that the US government views as impractical.
Donald Trump, a former president, renounced the 2015 agreement in which Iran dramatically reduced its nuclear activities in exchange for promises of sanctions relief.
