Je me suis entretenu avec le président iranien Massoud Pezechkian.
— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) March 8, 2026
Je lui ai indiqué que la sécurité et le retour en France de Cécile Kohler et Jacques Paris, qui se trouvent actuellement dans l'enceinte de l'ambassade de France, restent pour nous une priorité absolue.…
He highlighted the safety and return of French citizens Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, currently at the French embassy, as an absolute priority.
“I stressed the need for Iran to immediately cease attacks on regional countries. Iran must also guarantee freedom of navigation, ending the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Finally, I again expressed our deep concern regarding the development of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as well as all its destabilising activities in the region, which lie at the heart of the current crisis. To address these critical issues, halt escalation, and preserve peace, a diplomatic solution is now more necessary than ever,” Macron wrote.
