Trump is due to decide next month on whether perceived flaws in the 2015 agreement have been addressed. The French president made his comments ahead of a three-day state visit to Washington, adding that the Iran situation did give rise to some concerns.
"I'm not satisfied with the situation with Iran, said Macron."I want to fight against ballistic missiles. I want to contain their influence in the region. My point is to say don't leave now the JCPOA as long as you have not a better option for nuclear, and let's complete it with ballistic missile and regional containment."
The Iran nuclear deal was a historic diplomatic achievement to prevent Tehran's pathway to a bomb.
The Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was reached in July 2015 between Iran and international powers after nearly 20 months of negotiations.
Under the JCPOA, Iran and the United States, Germany, Britain, China, Russia and France (known as the P5+1), as well as the European Union, agreed to lift crippling international sanctions related to Iran's nuclear program in exchange for Tehran dismantling it.
The JCPOA went into effect in October 2015, followed in January 2016 by implementation the day after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verified Iran's nuclear program to be peaceful.
That led to the lifting of UN and national nuclear-related sanctions on Iran, including those on finance, trade and energy. As part of the deal, tens of billions of dollars of Iran's frozen assets were released.
he JCPOA allows Iran to pursue a peaceful nuclear program for commercial, medical and industrial purposes in line with international non-proliferation standards.
