Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, i24NEWS reports. The call comes amid diplomatic efforts to finalize a US-Iran memorandum of understanding.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke by phone with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot on Thursday, according to i24NEWS. The conversation follows a series of calls Araghchi has held with regional and European officials in recent days. The French foreign ministry confirmed the call took place, i24NEWS reported, but did not disclose the content of the discussion.
The outreach comes as diplomatic efforts to finalize a US-Iran agreement accelerate. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke about the emerging memorandum of understanding, with Trump stating the deal is in an "almost final stage." Araghchi has previously spoken with Qatari, Turkish, Saudi, and French officials, and reportedly threatened to attack US forces in a separate call — though that report remains unverified.
It remains unclear whether the French call advanced the deal text or addressed separate bilateral concerns.
