PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday called on Iran to cooperate immediately and fully with international nuclear watchdog IAEA.

Macron was speaking after meeting IAEA chief Rafael Grossi and the organisation issued a report admonishing Iran for failing to answer its questions about past nuclear activities at three sites and for denying it access to two of them.
