Iran's Foreign Ministry criticizes Macron's "baseless" remarks ahead of nuclear talks, rejecting claims about its nuclear program as "deceitful" and insisting on peaceful intentions.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry says on Wednesday that recent statements of French President Emmanuel Macron “baseless and contradictory” ahead of nuclear talks.
The next round of nuclear talks between Iran and France, the United Kingdom and Germany will take place in Geneva on January 13.
Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei called on Paris “to reconsider its unconstructive approaches to peace and stability”. According to IRNA, the remarks were made in response to Macron’s anti-Iran rhetoric during his annual meeting with French diplomats to outline France’s foreign policy objectives for 2025.
Macron had said in a speech Monday that Iran is the “main strategic and security challenge for France, Europeans, the entire region and beyond”.
He added that Iran would be a key topic of discussion with US President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, which will take office on January 20.
The French president also said the acceleration of Iran’s nuclear programme, which the West suspects is aimed at making a nuclear bomb, is “bringing us very close to the breaking point”.
“The acceleration of the nuclear programme brings us close to the point of no return,” Macron said.
Baqaei described French President's claim about Iran's nuclear programme as “deceitful”, insisting that Iran’s nuclear activities were “peaceful and within the framework of international laws.”
