During a visit to Dubai, the French president felt that it was not necessary "
not to exclude
" that this round of negotiations "
does not reopen quickly
".
Resumed in Vienna, these negotiations mark a pause since Friday to allow European countries to take stock of the proposals presented by Tehran, according to diplomatic sources.
"
I think that everyone is aware of the fact that not to discuss, and not to try to find a framework, at the same time on the nuclear power and the regional subjects, weakens everyone, and is a factor of increase of conflict,
”commented Emmanuel Macron.
"Important" also to involve regional powers
He underlined the importance "
of involving in this discussion all the members of the P5
" (United States, China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, to which is added Germany), citing in particular the Chinese. It is also "
important
", according to him, to re-engage a somewhat broader dynamic and to involve the regional powers in it "
because
" it is very difficult to find an agreement if the Gulf countries, Israel and all those who are directly involved. affected in their safety, are not part of it. “
Everyone knows that they (the Iranians) have taken over the enrichment work. So we have a situation that is not good for them, and not good for regional security either.
He added, insisting on the need to let the IAEA inspectors do their job in Iran.
Concluded in 2015 between the Islamic Republic and the great powers (United States, Russia, China, France, Germany, United Kingdom), the Iranian nuclear agreement has been dead since the unilateral withdrawal of the United States in 2018 and the reinstatement of sanctions, prompting Tehran in response to detach itself from most of its commitments.
