France says Iran must make ‘major concessions’ for peace

France’s foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Iran must be ready to make “major concessions” in negotiations with the United States to end the conflict in the Middle East.

Speaking at the United Nations Security Council, he said there could be no lasting solution unless Tehran “fundamentally changes its position”.

Barrot added that Iran should pursue “peaceful coexistence within its region”, saying such a shift would allow its people to build their future.

His remarks come as diplomatic efforts continue amid stalled negotiations and ongoing tensions.
