French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot held a call on Monday with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi to discuss the Iran war and both agreed to work on de-escalation, Barrot's office said in a statement.
Both ministers committed to seeking a political solution that would guarantee collective security and take into account the aspirations of the Iranian people, the statement said.
Barrot "reiterated the Iranian regime's responsibility for the ongoing escalation, after it unjustifiably attacked several countries in the region," the statement said.
He also criticised the Iranian regime for refusing to respect the resolutions from the United Nations' Security Council on the nuclear programmes, ballistic activities, support to non-state armed groups and rejecting good-faith multilateral negotiations.

Ffftt.! (snort)
The US and Israeli militaries are working hard on the problem.
Trump has an AWESOME knack of having EVERYONE EXPOSE THEMSELVES!!
LOL
LOL!!! TRUE! France could, INDEED, advise the Iranians HOW TO SURRENDER!!
“France says it will work with China on de-esclatating Iran war”
I still remember France’s sale of WWII weapons. “For sale ... French Army rifles ... never fired ... only dropped once”
China should work to ending the Ukraine war. They have some pull with Russia anyways
That bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys aren’t going to do anything. 🙄
Was only a few short years ago I supported NATO. Now? Nope.
France is just upset that they are not able to surrender to someone.
Pull out of NATO
Let Muslim France handle its own security.
Here’s how it’s done, Europe:
Donald Trump For President

🚨 ZERO SHIPS REMAINING: CENTCOM Confirms the Total Neutralization of the Iranian Navy in the Gulf of Oman 🚨
In a historic update that signals the end of a 47-year era of maritime harassment, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed the total destruction of the Iranian naval fleet in the Gulf of Oman. The numbers are staggering, and the message is even clearer: the days of the regime using international waters as a playground for terror are over.
Just two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 active vessels in the Gulf of Oman. Today, after a relentless wave of precision strikes by U.S. and allied forces, that number is ZERO.
For over 40 years, the regime has hijacked tankers, harassed commercial vessels, and threatened the global economy. CENTCOM’s statement is final: “Those days are over.”
The U.S. is reaffirming its role as the guarantor of global trade. By clearing the Gulf of Oman, the coalition has secured the maritime arteries that underpin economic prosperity for the entire world.
This naval victory follows the same “violent and deliberate” execution seen in the decapitation of the regime’s leadership. Highlights from the last 24 hours:
Reports confirm the sinking of several “Jamaran-class” corvettes and the regime’s dedicated drone carrier, the Shahid Bagheri.
President Trump’s call for the IRGC and regular Navy to “lay down your weapons” was backed by kinetic proof—if they didn’t leave the ships, they went down with them.
Allied nations like Qatar and the UAE are now actively intercepting the regime’s desperate retaliatory drone swarms, proving that the “America First” strategy has built a self-sustaining regional defense.
How do you say Vichy in Iranian.
Hey Frenchie, the Iranian “Regime” is no more. Who are you planning on bargaining with?
Actually, just no. We don’t need you or the Chicoms “help”. Just go eat some long phallic-looking bread.
Cheese eating surrender monkies!
Both France and China are going to quickly realize that they have zero ability to influence the situation in Iran. Zero.
Backwards politicians going backwards
France can France the hell off.
Run away, run away!
