In a recorded speech to the General Assembly, the French President said that "France, along with its partners Germany and Britain, will continue to demand full implementation of the 2015 Vienna Agreement" on the Iranian nuclear program, and "will not accept the violations committed by Iran."

However, he added, "Nevertheless, we will not compromise on activating a mechanism that the United States is not in a position to do on its own after leaving the agreement," because that would "harm the unity of the Security Council and the integrity of its decisions, with the risk of escalating tensions in the region."

And the United States announced on Saturday night, Sunday, unilaterally, the reinstatement of the UN sanctions on Iran after they were lifted in 2015 in exchange for an Iranian pledge not to seek possession of a nuclear weapon. This step was quickly condemned by Moscow and the European parties that signed the nuclear deal.

Macron stressed that the "strategy of maximum pressure" adopted by US President Donald Trump after he decided to withdraw from the agreement in 2018, "has so far not led to an end to Iran's destabilizing activities, nor to a guarantee that it will not be able to acquire a nuclear weapon."

He stressed, "The necessity of building a useful framework (...) that is, the ability to complete the 2015 agreement, first in time to ensure that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon for a long time, but also with the assurance that we will respond to Iran's ballistic activity, and also to what it is doing. To destabilize the region. "
