French President Emmanuel Macron publicly welcomed the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, vowing to continue supporting the Lebanese government's efforts to restore sovereignty and ensure stability, as reported by N12.
French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) reached between the United States and Iran, saying he would continue to support the Lebanese government's efforts to restore its sovereignty in a way that ensures stability, according to a statement carried by N12. The remarks add a major European voice to the growing number of regional and international actors publicly endorsing the framework. Earlier on Monday, Qatar's Prime Minister also publicly welcomed the US-Iran MOU, expressing hope for constructive talks. The White House said Washington is confident Israel will ultimately join the framework, though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week expressed appreciation for US commitments made to Israel regarding the deal's terms but stressed that Israel is not a party to the MOU. Iran has asserted the agreement includes an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon, a claim that has not been confirmed by Washington or Jerusalem. France has historically maintained close ties with Lebanon, including through the Paris-based international conference mechanism, and Macron's support signals continued European engagement with the diplomatic track as details of the US-Iran understanding remain under negotiation.
