Speaking ahead of a European Union foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg on Monday, Jean-Noël Barrot stressed that France, alongside the United Kingdom and Germany, would closely monitor any developments.
“We, together with our British and German partners, will remain vigilant to ensure that any discussions between the U.S. and Iran are in line with Europe’s security interests regarding Iran’s nuclear programme,” Barrot stated.
The remarks underline Europe’s continued concern over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and signal a unified stance among key EU members as diplomatic efforts potentially resume.
