French foreign ministry spokeswoman Agnès Romatet-Espagne said in a statement: "France asks Iran to cease all destabilising activity in the region. "France has asked Mr Guterres to carry out a full report on the launch .... and will consider with its partners, notably European, the means to obtain from Iran the cessation of its destabilising ballistic activities." Mrs Romatet-Espagne added Iran was in "clear violation" of UN resolution 2231 and urged Iran to "respect" the terms laid out in the 2015 nuclear deal. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-09-26 |
