Macron says the latest news from the Iranians is not serious

PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that the reimposition of United Nations sanctions on Iran would happen by the end of September because Tehran had not been serious in its talks with European powers to avert them.

When asked in an interview on Israel's Channel 12 whether the so-called snapback mechanism would take place he said:

"Yes. I think so because the latest news from the Iranians is not serious," Macron said.
