French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday claimed that the tone of comments adopted by the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia towards Iran was virtually a path to war, Reuters reports.
The official line pursued by the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia, who are our allies in many ways, is almost one that would lead us to war, Macron was quoted as having told reporters.
The line being taken was a deliberate strategy for some, he said, while adding that France wanted to maintain some balance.
Otherwise, we end up surreptitiously rebuilding an axis of evil, he said, referring to a comment by former U.S. President George W. Bush, who once used that term to describe countries including Iran, Iraq and North Korea.
Macron also said he would only visit Iran if there was a return to calm and respect for freedoms.

France signed up to PESCO, the EU military agreement. Whatever comes of that, they can never declare neutrality.
We’ve been waiting for the Mullah regime to collapse for 37 years. They are not going to simply oblige us, so long as the IRGC remains strong and the people can’t fight back.
worthless comment from a surrender monkey
Seems to me, they fought each other for ten years and it was a tie.
My prediction is, Iran won't be much of a problem.
The only word France knows about war is “surrender”.
IMHO a restive, young, impoverished Iranian population with poor prospects in the age of the internet and telecommunications cannot be suppressed forever by even the most efficient goons and thugs. The mullah regime is simply not sustainable. There is no clamoring for war against Iran in the United States. Iran is already overextended in Syria and Lebanon. If they commit actual forces to seriously threaten Israel, the Israelis will bloody them badly.
That’s why they’re counting on their nuke program to take things to another level.
What’s an “Emmanuel Macron” and what is it used for?
Is it something the French use to measure or examine abnormally small male genitalia?
Just asking.
Uhn huh...it’s not like you frogs will have any skin in the game.
Whaddyu care?
