France's Emmanuel Macron backs Iran nuclear deal, says 'no alternative'
Paris. (KNA) : French President, Emmanuel Macron, has supported Iran nuclear deal as the latest world leade
He said the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), had facilitated a constructive relationship with Iran.
"There is no alternative to the non-proliferation agenda. It enables a constructive and demanding relationship with Iran," he told some 200 French ambassadors gathered in Paris.
Macron's comments come as one party to the deal, namely the United States, has been trying to undermine the pact.
The deal was reached between Iran and the P5+1 countries - namely the US, Russia, China, France, Britain, and Germany - in July 2015 and took effect in January 2016.
