PARIS, 01 January 2022, (TON): France condemned Iran's satellite rocket launch and said it was “all the more regrettable” as nuclear talks with world powers were making progress, echoing concerns expressed by the United States and Germany.
Iran said “it had used a satellite launch rocket to send three research devices into space, as indirect US-Iran talks take place in Austria to try to salvage a 2015 nuclear deal.”
France's foreign ministry said “the satellite launch was in breach of UN Security Council resolutions.”
The French foreign ministry said “these activities are all the more regrettable as they come at a time when we are making progress in the nuclear negotiations in Vienna.”
“We call on Iran not to launch further ballistic missiles designed to be capable of carrying nuclear weapons, including space launchers.”
