As the Iran nuclear negotiations continue, the president of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the French National Assembly, Elisabeth Guigou, said in a recent interview with Al-Monitor that she sees France playing the role of “guardian” in the nuclear talks with Iran.
Guigou, who is the former French minister for European affairs (1990-1993), justice (1997-2000) and employment and solidarity (2000-2002), told Al-Monitor that the United States “seems eager to reach an agreement” quickly, and that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is also keen to reach a resolution for political reasons, including the lifting of sanctions.
