Geopolitical comments from France's Macron

France's president Macron is on the wires saying:

  • US maximum pressure campaign has so far failed to prevent Iran's destabilizing activities, ensure it won't be able to get nuclear weapon
  • US cannot implement sanctions snapback mechanism because they left 2015 nuclear deal
  • Implementing snapback mechanism would undermine unity of UN Security Council. All of its decisions and would risk is aspirating regional tensions
  • A framework within 2015 nuclear deal needs to be built to ensure Iran never acquires nuclear weapons, but also tackles ballistic missile program destabilizing activities
  • Russia must quickly and flawlessly shed light on poisoning of opponent Navalcy because "We will make sure our red lines are upheld"
