Macron says urged Iran president to use Islamabad talks to achieve 'lasting de-escalation'

French President Emmanuel Macron said Saturday he had urged his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian to use talks with the United States in Pakistan to achieve "a lasting de-escalation."

"I urged him to seize the opportunity presented by the talks launched in Islamabad to pave the way for a lasting de-escalation and a robust agreement that provides solid guarantees for security in the region," Macron said on X.

Macron said he had also stressed the need for Iran to restore freedom and security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz "as soon as possible."
