France to US and Iran: Deal now, situation 'unsustainable'

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot called on the United States and Iran to reach a diplomatic agreement, describing the current standoff as "unsustainable." Speaking in Paris, Barrot urged both sides to return to negotiations, warning that continued tension risks further destabilizing the Middle East. The appeal comes amid stalled talks over Iran’s nuclear program and renewed U.S. sanctions. No immediate response was issued from Washington or Tehran.
