Macro mediator between Saudi Arabia and Iran

He said the move, once again signals the need for negotiations with Tehran about their missile development.

The “Raketa that was destroyed by Saudi Arabia, which was launched by Yemen, which obviously is from Iran, correctly shows the power of their” programme, Macron said, during his visit to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

“Among Arab neighbours, there are major concerns about Iran and the launch of missiles”, Macron said, adding that “talks about this issue should begin”.

“as if we were operating in 2015, it is necessary to set a framework for missile activities for Iran”, Macron said.

Iran on the other hand has dismissed allegations that it is supplying the Huth militants with weapons, adding that their missile programme is only for their protection.

It's not enough to show gullibility, we're doing this to stay close to our allies, especially the United Arab Emirates. Also, these addresses are being made so that we don't have conservative policies that could result in disbalancing or in any conflict in the region”, Macron said.

Macro has met with Saudi Arabia prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has told him that “Finance condemns missile targets in the town of Riyadi”, reports Saudi Arabia's state news agency.

I believe it is very important to work with Saudi Arabia in order to ensure stability”, Macron said.

The rocket, launched on November 4th, was destroyed near the international airport and was very close to reaching the capital of Saudi Arabia. Prince Selman has blamed Iran for supplying the Huthi rebels with rockets and has warned that it could be considered the <x0wakt war”.

The United States, like Saudi Arabia, blame Iran for illegally distributing their allies' weapons to Yemen.

Despite the indictment at Iran's address, Macron said France still stands by the nuclear agreement, limiting Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for easing sanctions.

“Possible abandoned agreement will lead the world towards war or lack of control”, Macron said.

Macro said he'd travel to Iran in 2018.

If such a visit is accomplished, it will be marked as the first French president to travel to Iran since 1971.
