France's Macron urges Iranian president to end attacks French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday he spoke to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and asked him to put an end to attacks against countries in the region and called on the country to engage in good faith negotiations. "I spoke again of the absolute necessity of putting a stop to these unacceptable attacks on countries in the region, of preserving energy and civilian infrastructure and of restoring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," Macron said in a post on X. "I called on Iran to engage in good faith in negotiations in order to pave the way for de-escalation and provide a framework which will meet the expectations of the international community in terms of Iran's nuclear and ballistic programme and its activities of regional destabilisation," Macron added.
