Emmanuel Macron spoke with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday. The two presidents discussed the promotion of bilateral ties, an Iranian official said.
They also "agreed on a roadmap," the Iranian official also added, without providing further details. The phone call comes about a month after the release of French-Iranian researcher Fariba Adelkhah, although she is still unable to leave Iranian territory. Four other French nationals remain in detention in Iran, including teacher Cécile Kohler and her partner, Jacques Paris.
