France’s position in case of « » Iranian reprisals
France will participate in ‘Israel protection and defense operations in the case of Iranian’ reprisals’, if it is’ able to do so ‘, said French President Emmanuel Macron, while Israel continues the attacks on Iran, AFP reports.
« I expressed my availability in this regard, » added the French president in a press conference. ‘Instead, I do not intend to participate in any offensive operation. This is not our role, « said Macron.
« The global economy can be affected, whether it is commercial routes and threats concerning the Ormuz Strait, or it is the global oil production capacities, » said the French president, also mentioning « the consequences for our compatriots in the region, or that they are diplomats, military or citizens; but also for our country ‘.
Israel launched a series of air strokes on Friday, saying it hit over 200 targets, including nuclear sites. The Tehran responded by launching drones to the Israeli territory, considering that the Israeli attack is a ‘declaration of war’.
This attack took place in the context in which Israel and Western countries suspect Iran is trying to obtain nuclear weapons, an accusation that Tehran rejects.
