La Derecha Diario Macron joined countries such as North Korea and called on Israel to halt its attacks
The French president decided to align himself with countries ruled by dictatorial regimes such as Kim Jong Un's and urged Israel to halt its attacks on Tehran
The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, expressed his deep dismay at the intensification of the conflict between Israel and Iran, urging Israel to urgently halt attacks related to the nuclear program and advances in Iranian ballistic missiles.
In an official statement from the French president, it was reported that the head of state led a meeting of the Defense and National Security Council to analyze the situation in the Middle East and the ongoing war, amid a worrying increase in bombings and the loss of civilian lives, mainly those indiscriminately killed by Khamenei's regime in both countries.
Macron emphasized that the conflict must not be solved through the use of force and that the only viable solution to the problem of Iran's nuclear program is negotiation.
He recalled that Francewas one of the signatory countries of the disastrous nuclear agreement with Iran in 2015, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which sought to limit uranium enrichment in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, an agreement from which the United States unilaterally withdrew in 2018 under the presidency of Donald Trump.
With the aim of curbing the escalation of war and preventing further regional destabilization, Macron ordered the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrot, to prepare a diplomatic initiative together with European partners to propose a "demanding and negotiated solution" that would allow an end to the conflict. This proposal will be presented in the coming days as an attempt at European mediation in light of the deteriorating situation.
In the context of the G7 Summit held in Canada, the French president warned about the consequences, in his view, of attempting to impose regime change in Iran through war, recalling the precedents of military interventions in Libya and Iraq.
Macron was firm in his opposition to military actions aimed at overthrowing governments, mentioning that such strategies would only lead to chaos and political destabilization, something Europe can't afford to repeat.
These statements also arose in response to comments from U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who recently publicly discussed the possibility of eliminating Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. Macron openly distanced himself from such positions, reaffirming that France doesn't support nor will legitimize "violent interventions against sitting governments."
