Macron urges Tehran to ‘pressure’ Syria to halt Ghouta offensive
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron calls on his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani on Sunday to put the “necessary pressure” on the Syrian government to halt “indiscriminate” attacks on civilians in the rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta.
During a telephone call between the two leaders, Macron underscores the “particular responsibility for Iran, because of its ties to the regime, regarding the implementation of the humanitarian truce” sought by the UN, his office says.
