Lebanon must be covered by ceasefire agreement, French foreign minister says

-

PARIS, April ‌9 (Reuters) - The ceasefire agreed ​by Iran and the United States ⁠must also cover military actions in Lebanon, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel ​Barrot said on Thursday, adding France ‌condemned "massive" Israeli strikes the previous day.

Barrot added that he expects Iran to ⁠make a series ⁠of concessions as part of the peace talks due to start in Pakistan.

"Iran must give up ‌to have nuclear weapons and means ⁠to obtain them, ‌must give up ​using its missiles and drones to threaten countries in the region ‌and give up supporting ​groups like ⁠Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis who ‌destabilize the ⁠region," he said in an interview with Radio Station France Inter.

Iran must ​also open ‌the traffic in the Strait of ⁠Hormuz, he ​said.
