"It is necessary for Iran to restore the freedom and security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible, and France is ready to contribute to this," Macron wrote in his letter.
According to the head of state, in the conversation with the Iranian president, he emphasized "the importance of maintaining the ceasefire, including in Lebanon."
"France fully supports the actions of the Lebanese authorities, which are the only legitimate authorities," Macron emphasized.
