France's
Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it was taking accusations by the
United States that Iran had violated two U.N. Security Council
resolutions seriously and urged Iran to comply with all its
international commitments.
United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley accused Iran on Tuesday of supplying Yemen's Houthi rebels
with a missile that was fired into Saudi Arabia in July and called for
the U.N. to hold Tehran accountable for violating two U.N. Security
Council resolutions.
"We take these American indications
seriously and attach utmost importance to Iran's compliance with all of
its international obligations, including the weapons' transfer bans
provided for in U.N. Security Council Resolutions 2216 and 2231," Deputy
Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexandre Georgini told reporters in a daily
briefing.
He did not respond when asked whether Paris supported potential measures at the Security Council.
France's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le
Drian has said that he expected a "challenging" meeting with his Iranian
counterpart in Tehran when he travels there later this month.
He is due to discuss Iran's ballistic
missile program, which Paris says goes against U.N. Security Council
resolutions and its regional activities
"We have deep disagreements with Iran [on
the ballistic issue] and the way in which Iran is discreetly or through
proxies trying to create a direct channel to the Mediterranean," he said
after a Security Council meeting at the United Nations on Oct. 31.
