TEHRAN: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Thursday criticized French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of failing to condemn Israel and the United States’ war with Iran, while voicing concern over Tehran’s retaliation.
On Wednesday, Macron called for imposing a moratorium on strikes after Iran attacked Qatar’s key Ras Laffan facilities, part of the world’s largest gas field.
The strikes followed an attack on Iranian facilities in the same gas field, which it shares with Qatar.
“It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure,” Macron said in a post on X, in which he referenced calls with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, and US President Donald Trump.
Araghchi responded in a post on X by accusing Macron of ignoring earlier US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
