French President Macron on Iran: Six months ago, we were told everything had been destroyed and settled. Clearly, that was not the case.

There will always be expertise and potentially hidden facilities unless there is lasting oversight. A few weeks of military strikes cannot resolve the nuclear issue in the long term. Without a diplomatic and technical agreement, the situation could deteriorate again in months or years. The same logic applies to ballistic capabilities — they must be monitored through negotiation

Мы этого не допустим.
