French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has said that a lasting resolution to rising tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel can only be achieved through a negotiated agreement within the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

In remarks addressing the escalating situation in the region, Barrot reaffirmed France’s commitment to diplomacy and the NPT as the foundation for preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.

“A sustainable solution is only possible through dialogue and adherence to international agreements,” Barrot said, emphasising the need for all parties to return to negotiations in good faith.

France is a signatory to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and has consistently advocated for a diplomatic path to curb Iran’s nuclear activities while ensuring regional stability.
