Macron said that Paris would help Israel with defense if he could do it.
At the same time, he rejected the possibility of French troops to participate in any Israeli offensive operations.
“This is not our role,” said Macron, but once again emphasized that he condemns Iran’s nuclear program.
He also spoke about the possible threats overhanging France, remembering that Iran had previously demonstrated his ability to make terrorist attacks abroad, especially the country is armed with ballistic missiles. The president quotes Le Figaro. Therefore, Macron announced the strengthening of Sentinelle operation, which provides for the placement of the military near the main French or tourist facilities.
Context
On June 13, the Israeli defense army struck Iran as part of the transaction, which the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu called the “people of the Lion.” He emphasized that Iran has the opportunity to create nine nuclear bombs. “If the enemy is developing opportunities for your destruction – stop it,” he said. Israel, in particular, struck on two nuclear facilities of Iran – plant for the production of enriched Uranus in Netenze and to the Uranus enrichment plant in Fordo.
As a result of the impact on Iran, nuclear scientists died, including the President of the Islamic University of Azad, Mohammad Mehdi Techdi, and a number of high-ranking military. The IDF claims that he also struck the Iranian air defense systems.
US President Donald Trump, commenting on Iran’s blows, warned: if Tehran does not agree to sign an agreement on their nuclear program, the situation will be even worse, because Israel allegedly has already planned new, very stringent shots. He also added that Israeli’s blows to objects in Iran were “wonderful”.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Facebook that the United States is responsible for the blow of Israel on Iran. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denies this.
In the evening, the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called Israel’s attack a “big mistake”, accused the country of unleashing the war and threatened it with a “bitter life”. Iran made a massive missile attack on Israel.
