Macron: Iran uranium announcement ‘violation’ of 2015 deal

French President Emmanuel Macron condemns Iran’s decision to “violate” the terms of the nuclear deal by enriching uranium above limits laid out in the agreement.

An official from Macron’s party tells the Reuters news agency the French government remains committed to a July 15 deadline to resume dialogue between the parties.

Yesterday, Macron told Iranian President Hassan Rouhani of his “strong concern” over the risk of weakening the nuclear agreement during a telephone call, according to a statement from the Elysee Palace.

The diplomatic chiefs of Britain, France, Germany and the EU have also said they are “extremely concerned” by Iran’s decision to breach some of its commitments.
