, As conflicting reports emerge over the alleged ‘obliteration’ of Iran’s nuclear sites during the strikes by the United States over the weekend, Donald Trump has found support in France’s Emmanuel Macron as the French President said the bombing were ‘genuinely effective’. Emmanuel Macron also warned of a “worst-case scenario” if Tehran now exits the global non-proliferation treaty.
After an EU summit in Brussels, Macron said, “The worst would be that the consequence of this is Iran’s exit from the Non-Proliferation Treaty and therefore, ultimately, a drift and a collective weakening.”
He added that the aim was “that there should be no resumption” of nuclear buildup by Iran after the US strikes.
The French President also said that he would be speaking to five members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in a bid to maintain the treaty – that is meant to limit the spread of nuclear weapons.
Those talks already kicked off with a call with President Donald Trump on Thursday, June 26, in which Macron said he informed his US counterparts of contacts Paris had with Tehran in “the last few days and hours”.
“Our hope is that there will be a real convergence of views,” Emmanuel Macron said.
