Iran's enriched uranium should be 'neutralised', supervised by UN: Macron

Published June 15, 2026 Updated June 15, 2026 05:29pm

Iran’s stocks of enriched uranium need to be neutralised and placed under the supervision of the UN atomic agency, French President Emmanuel Macron has said, AFP reports.

“We will ensure that the enriched uranium capabilities that remain are properly neutralised,” Macron has said after US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Iran.

The sensitive stocks should be “either taken out, or diluted” and then looked after by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Macron says.
