The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has convened a new meeting of the country's Security Council this Tuesday to address the latest developments in the conflict in the Middle East, where the situation has been escalating in recent weeks following the operation launched by the United States and Israel against Iran.
The Élysée Palace stated in a press release that the Security Council meeting will specifically focus on issues related to Iran, where approximately 1,500 people have died since the beginning of the attacks. Tehran has responded with bombings targeting Israeli and American objectives in the Persian Gulf.
This new meeting, which will include the presence of government ministers and other high-ranking officials, will take place this afternoon at approximately 5:30 PM (local time). The meeting follows President Donald Trump's order to postpone attacks on Iranian power plants for five days and his remarks about "very solid" conversations with Tehran.
However, Iranian authorities have denied that negotiations are taking place with the United States and have attributed Trump's announcement about the imminent agreement with Iran to an attempt to manipulate the price of oil.
Iranian authorities have confirmed in their latest report that more than 1,500 people have been killed in the offensive by Israel and the United States, including 210 children.
