France: de-escalation between US and Iran priority
By EUobserver
France's foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told reporters that his priority during the UN general assembly in New York this week is to de-escalate the tensions between the US and Iran, rather than making US president Donald Trump and Iran's president Hassan Rouhani meet. The United States accused Iran of being responsible for the attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil installations, while Iran denied any involvement.
