French President Emmanuel Macron urged his new Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday to not support Russia’s “war of aggression” against Ukraine, in talks between the two leaders, his office said.

Macron also told Pezeshkian that “all must be done to avoid a military escalation” between Israel and Lebanon after a deadly rocket strike in the Golan Heights blamed on Tehran-backed Hezbollah, calling on Iran to “cease its support of destabilising actors” in the Middle East.
