Macron warns of Iranian drift from nuclear treaty, diplomacy

"In my opinion, the worst-case scenario would be to leave Iran in the lurch after these strikes, which were genuinely effective," French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday, adding US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites were likely effective.

"The American strikes were genuinely effective in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. But the worst would be that the consequence of this is Iran's exit from the Non-Proliferation Treaty and therefore, ultimately, a drift and a collective weakening," Macron added while on a visit to Brussels.
