France's foreign minister arrived in Tehran on Monday for meetings with the country's president and his Iranian counterpart with talks likely to focus on Syria's years-long war and French criticism of Iran's ballistic missile program.
U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to stop recertifying the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), if the United Kingdom, France and Germany don't amend it to reflect certain changes, including the removal of the sunset provisions.
While French leaders, including President Emmanuel Macron, have criticized Iran's missile program, French companies like oil giant Total SA have bullishly entered the Iranian market after the atomic accord, complicating any possible sanctions.
Although Iranian missile programme is a great concern to Western countries, its failure would be a "Great Loss".
