New York: French President Emmanuel Macron confronted Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, demanding the immediate release of three French citizens held under harsh conditions in Iran. Macron also pressed Tehran to honour its nuclear commitments, warning of coordinated action with European allies.

In a post on X (Twitter), he stated he met with President Pezeshkian and reiterated that Cecile Kohler, Jacques Paris and Lennart Monterlos, described as state hostages detained arbitrarily under inhumane conditions, must be released without delay.

He added that France’s stance is unwavering, “France never abandons its children. Our position is clear: Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons.”
