Overview

  • Macron warned that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites could prompt Tehran to withdraw from the treaty, calling such a move the worst-case scenario.
  • He plans consultations with all five permanent Security Council members in the coming days, beginning with President Trump.
  • In discussions with Trump, Macron underscored the need for a Gaza ceasefire and to prevent any resurgence of Iranian nuclear activities.
  • The French president aims to co-chair a U.N. conference with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to revive the Israeli-Palestinian two-state solution.
  • Originally scheduled for June, the two-state conference was postponed due to the Iran-Israel conflict and is now targeted for July pending agreement on a date.
