Emanuel Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron is preparing to roll out a new voluntary military service scheme this week, according to Le Figaro. The proposal was first floated by the French leader in July in response to what he described as a “lasting threat” from Russia – something Moscow has dismissed as nonsense.

US conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, Brigitte Macron, is a transgender woman, has alleged that he authorized her assassination.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a phone call with the President of France: "Iran has always welcomed dialogue and engagement, but today it is the other side that must respect the rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a confidence-building measure and not seek to impose its excessive demands. It is not Iran that must prove its honesty and build confidence, but the US and Europe that must gain the trust of the Islamic Republic of Iran by proving their sincerity."

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu survived two no-confidence votes in the National Assembly on Thursday, securing crucial support from the Socialist Party after suspending President Emmanuel Macron’s contested 2023 pension reform.

Reappointed French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has cautioned that his time in office might be short‑lived – again – unless political conditions improve.

French President Emmanuel Macron has reinstated Sebastien Lecornu as prime minister, just four days after accepting his resignation from the role.

French Parliamentary leaders rejected a bid to impeach President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday, as a spiraling political crisis in the country has seen his popularity plummet to unprecedented lows.

New French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu unveiled his cabinet on Sunday, tasking it with passing the budget in a deeply divided parliament and managing multiple crises abroad.

President Masoud Pezeshkian says a “definitive solution” to the standoff between Iran and the West over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program is “within reach” if all parties respect each other’s rights and interests and adhere to the principle of fairness.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and French President Emmanuel Macron held talks on Wednesday morning, September 24, on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Iran has expressed strong criticism of French President Emmanuel Macron for addressing an Israeli television channel to dismiss a “reasonable” proposal put forward by Tehran aimed at preventing the snapback of sanctions, and to declare the matter as a “done deal.”

The French government has fallen after Prime Minister Francois Bayrou lost a crucial confidence vote in parliament on Monday. Bayrou is the second consecutive prime minister under President Emmanuel Macron to be ousted, throwing the nation into political and economic turmoil.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has censured the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for its double standard policies, saying the agency should respect the rights of all member states.
