France's President Emmanuel Macron has asked Iran to immediately stop attacks in the Middle East and ensure freedom of navigation by opening the Hormuz Strait for international maritime traffic.

This request came during a telephone conversation Macron conducted with Iranian President Massoud Peschian.

The French president also recalled that an absolute priority for France remains the security and repatriation of the French couple Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, who have been imprisoned in Iran and currently located in the courtyard of the French Embassy, has broadcast Panorama.
