Emmanuel Macron spoke on BFMTV and RMC about security for the Olympic Games. The French president did not rule out other current issues, notably on the international scene, less than 48 hours after a wave of Iranian strikes against Israel.
The head of state also returned to the growing tensions in the Middle East, where concerns have increased since an unprecedented Iranian missile attack against Israel on Saturday evening. The president continued to defend Israel's right to "protect itself", saying that "it was Iran which decided to strike Israel" France carried out “interceptions”, solely for the purpose of “strict protection and defense’, Paris having a military air base in Jordan. “We are training 27,000,” assured Emmanuel Macron. ‘We are going to do everything to avoid conflagration, escalation, all, we are going all to avoid all,’ he assured, calling above all to “isolate Iran” and ultimately “find a path of peace”
