France Voices Support for Iran-US Islamabad Talks
"We support these negotiations, we hope they produce the best possible effects," Barrot said.
The minister addressed the Islamabad discussions briefly during an event held at the Cite universitaire de Paris — also known as the Paris International University Campus — stopping short of elaborating on France's specific diplomatic position but signaling clear backing for a negotiated resolution.
Historic Talks, Fragile Ceasefire
Pakistan is hosting the high-stakes diplomatic process, formally referred to as the "Islamabad Talks" — widely regarded as the most consequential direct engagement between Washington and Tehran since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The negotiations are unfolding against the backdrop of a fragile two-week ceasefire brokered by Islamabad earlier this week, offering a narrow but critical window for diplomacy to take hold.
The conflict, triggered by the US-Israeli offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, has exacted a severe human toll. Iranian health authorities report that nearly 3,000 Iranian nationals have been killed since hostilities began. On the American side, at least 13 US servicemen have lost their lives, with dozens more wounded.
With diplomatic efforts stalled following Saturday's inconclusive round of talks, Paris's public endorsement of the process adds a notable European voice to mounting international pressure on both sides to break the deadlock before the ceasefire expires.
