"Macron's position recognises that this operation was executed outside the framework of international law. At the same time, France is not condemning it strongly because we believe that the responsibility lies primarily with Tehran, which was unwilling to compromise."
"The French are very clear in saying that the nuclear issue in Iran and the threats coming from Iran cannot be resolved with a military operation from the outside and [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and [US President Donald] Trump's stated goal of regime change, even less so."
France maintains a nuanced position on the US and Israel's military operations against Iran following Ayatollah Khamenei's death. President Macron has condemned the strikes as illegal under international law while simultaneously holding Iran primarily responsible for escalating the conflict. France opposes the military intervention, arguing that nuclear issues and regional threats cannot be resolved through external military operations or regime change objectives. This stance reflects France's skepticism toward militarized solutions in the Middle East, given the region's complex history. France remains concerned about potential European involvement in the expanding conflict.
