France today endorsed the two‑week ceasefire reached between the United States and Iran. The French President and Prime Minister, together with leaders from 15 other nations, welcomed the agreement and thanked Pakistan and all partners for facilitating the deal. Officials said the focus should now shift to negotiating a swift and lasting settlement to the conflict, achievable only through diplomacy. They urged rapid progress toward a negotiated resolution, stressing the need to protect Iranian civilians and maintain regional security. The statement also warned that a failure could spark a severe global energy crisis. France reaffirmed its commitment to diplomatic efforts, maintained close contact with the United States and allies, and called all parties, including Lebanon, to enforce the ceasefire. French governments will help ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
