Iran- Israel Conflict Live: France President- Emmanuel Macron On X

The outbreak of war between the United States, Israel, and Iran carries grave consequences for international peace and security. In this decisive moment, all measures are being taken to ensure the security of the national territory and that of our compatriots, as well as our interests in the Middle East. France also stands ready to deploy the necessary resources to protect its closest partners at their request. The ongoing escalation is dangerous for all. It must stop. The Iranian regime must understand that it no longer has any option but to engage in good-faith negotiations to end its nuclear and ballistic programs, as well as its actions of regional destabilization. This is absolutely essential to the security of all in the Middle East. The Iranian people must also be able to build their future freely. The massacres perpetrated by the Islamic regime disqualify it and require that the voice be given back to the people. The sooner, the better. True to its principles and aware of its international responsibilities, France is calling for an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council. I am in close contact with our European partners and our friends in the Middle East.

I’m in touch with the MEA. Advisories are being issued to Indian nationals across the region. Common sense requires them to stay away from US and allied military bases while these attacks are going on. One “Asian national” reported killed in a missile strike on Abu Dhabi. Stay safe, friends.
