French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday that a diplomatic solution is "more necessary than ever" to put an end to the escalation and preserve peace. Macron made the remarks in a post on social media platform X after speaking with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian over phone.
French news channel BFMTV reported that Macron also held a phone conversation with US President Trump on Sunday. No details of the call were disclosed for the moment, according to Xinhua.
