In an interview with German news agency Deutche Welle and ARD news network, the French president expressed regret over US exist from the Iran deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The Europeans' resolve provides a chance to prevent Iran from resuming its nuclear activities quickly so as to stop escalation of tension in the region and above all preserve peace and stability in the Middle East.
Referring to US exit from the JCPOA, Macron said now Europe is responsible for guaranteeing the unilateralism that has come into existence since the end of the World War II.
Asked about his efforts while in Washington to preserve the Iran Deal and reasons behind his failure to do so, Macron said he came to realize in Washington that President Trump intended to walk away from the deal and so he proposed working on a broader deal.
He also expressed regret over Trump's decision and maintained that it was a mistake.
The French president said that as he told Iranian President Hassan Rouhani the Europeans would stay in the deal.
