PARIS, April 9 (Reuters) - The ceasefire agreed by Iran and the United States must also cover military actions in Lebanon, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Thursday, adding France condemned "massive" Israeli strikes the previous day.
Barrot added that he expects Iran to make a series of concessions as part of the peace talks due to start in Pakistan.
"Iran must give up to have nuclear weapons and means to obtain them, must give up using its missiles and drones to threaten countries in the region and give up supporting groups like Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis who destabilize the region," he said in an interview with Radio Station France Inter.
Iran must also open the traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, he said.
