The Iranian Foreign Ministry today (Saturday) responded to the remarks of French President Emmanuel Macron, who said last night that Saudi Arabia should be included in the resumption of negotiations with Iran on the nuclear agreement, vehemently rejected his remarks and said Iran would not agree to changes or new participants in the agreement.
“The nuclear deal is a multilateral international agreement approved by UN Security Council Resolution 2231, which is non-negotiable and the parties involved in it are clear and unchangeable,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Said Khatibazda told Iranian media.

As stated in an interview with the Arab television network Al-Arabiya, Makron stressed the need to avoid what he calls the exclusion of other countries in the region during the negotiations on the agreement in 2015. “We must learn from the mistakes made in the negotiations in 2015 that did not include other countries. In the area “. Macron added that all new talks on the nuclear deal with Iran would be “strict” and that there was a very short time left to prevent Tehran from possessing nuclear weapons.
Khatibazada said Macron should “discover self-restraint.” “If French officials are concerned about the sale of their huge arms to Arab countries in the Persian Gulf, they should reconsider their policies,” Khatibazada said. “French weapons, along with other Western weapons, not only cause massacres in thousands of Yemenis, but are also the main cause of regional instability.”
