French President Emmanuel Macron convened a meeting of top defence and security officials on Wednesday after a two-week ceasefire was agreed between the United States and Iran, calling the deal “a very good thing” but saying it must “fully” include Lebanon.
The defence council brought together ministers and senior officials to discuss “the situation in Iran and the Middle East,” the Élysée said. The meeting also addressed the return of two French nationals, Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, freed by Iran.
