French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran does not close the door to diplomacy with Tehran.
“The door of diplomacy remains open. We want to continue the dialogue that should allow us to move forward,” Barrot told French news channel LCI.
“It is in Iran’s interest to pursue dialogue.”
He added that sanctions and talks would proceed in parallel.
“So, sanctions are being reapplied today, but dialogue continues so that all security guarantees may be provided by Iran and our security interests may be truly ensured,” he said.
