French President Emmanuel Macron has said that the offer to be made by European powers to Iran would have four aspects, according to AFP.

The first would foresee a resumption of work by the UN’s IAEA, with “the capacity to go to all the sites”, so that Iran moves to zero enrichment of uranium, Macron said.

The second and third aspects would comprise oversight of Iran’s ballistic activities and how it finances proxies in the region, he added.

The fourth would be the liberation of “hostages” by Iran, said Macron, referring to the foreigners jailed by the Islamic Republic, including two French citizens.
