France urges restraint from 'all sides' after Israel strikes Iran Paris, June 13 (AFP) Jun 13, 2025 France's foreign minister on Friday urged restraint after Israel pounded Iran in a series of air raids, striking 100 targets including nuclear and military sites as well as killing the armed forces' chief of staff. "We call on all sides to exercise restraint and avoid any escalation that could undermine regional stability," Jean-Noel Barrot said on X. Iran has gradually broken away from its commitments under the nuclear deal it struck with world powers including the United States and France in 2015. The landmark deal provided Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its atomic programme, but it fell apart after the unilateral withdrawal of the United States during US President Donald Trump's first term in 2018.
