Macron calls Iran-US talks critical amid growing risk of proliferation

French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday warned of a growing risk of nuclear proliferation and underscored the importance of ongoing US efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program.

“We have now a big risk of nuclear proliferation. This is why the situation in Iran is so critical,” Macron said in a speech in Singapore.

“And this is why we do consider that the work which is being done by the United States of America in Iran is so critical,” he added, referring to efforts to reach a nuclear agreement with Tehran.
