Le Drian: Time Does Not Favor Iran and It Must Return to Negotiations

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called for the resumption of negotiations regarding the return to the Iranian nuclear agreement as soon as possible. In his speech before the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, Le Drian stated, "Iran cannot believe that time is on its side, as the risk of a major crisis is increasing while its nuclear program becomes more dangerous." He pointed out that "the continuation of the Iranian nuclear program requires steadfastness from everyone." He affirmed that "France will take all necessary steps for dialogue, but the only possible path remains the agreement that ensures Iran resumes its commitments." He added, "Therefore, it is essential to resume negotiations as soon as possible." It is worth noting that the sixth round of negotiations in Vienna regarding the return to the nuclear agreement with Iran concluded on June 20th. Negotiations are expected to resume soon, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
