Iran tells France it won't sit for talks under pressure from Israeli attacks

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian told his French counterpart that the Islamic Republic will not sit at the negotiating table under pressure from unreasonable demands, double standards, or while Israeli attacks continue.

"Instead of accepting our arguments, world powers chose to believe the lies of a regime that seeks to destabilize the region," Iran's president told Macron, referring to Israel's warnings about Tehran's alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons.
