Present in The Hague, at the NATO summit, Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that France will soon end its own analysis on Iranian nuclear sites, following the attacks by the US and Israel. “We finalize the analysis with everything we have and then will be confronted with the analysis of other interested countries, obviously Americans, other Europeans, IsraeliI, ”said the leader from Elysee, according to Reuters.
Macron also said that he will discuss these issues in Paris with Rafael Grossi, the director of the International Agency for Atomic Energy (AIEA), who is to present the latest Agency Evaluation.
Trump claims that the attacks were “destroying”
In a controversial statement, US President Donald Trump compared recent blows to Iran with nuclear attacks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, saying that they “have caused a destruction“Although he acknowledged that the information available to Americans is not conclusive.
This statement comes in the context in which several media sources reported on Tuesday that the American Defense Information Agency (DIA) estimated that the blows were not devastating, but only delayed the Iranian nuclear program. However, Trump and other administration officials claimed that nuclear installations were “destroyed”.
European diplomacy, tested
France, along with Germany and the United Kingdom, is part of the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran. Before escalating the conflict between Israel and Iran, the three European countries tried to mediate the resumption of Iranian nuclear program.
However, as a result of these strokes, Western diplomacy is facing clear limits. “We have a calendar that runs and the decisions must be made by summer“, Macron warned, referring to the need to decide whether the UN sanctions against Iran will be re-imposed, before the resolution certifying the nuclear agreement expires in October.
