AFP — President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that France would help do everything to avoid an escalation in the Middle East after an unprecedented Iranian missile and drone attack on Israel.
Iran launched its first-ever direct assault on Israeli territory late Saturday in retaliation for a deadly April 1 air strike on Tehran’s consulate building in Syria’s capital Damascus that was widely blamed on Israel.
“We will do everything to avoid a conflagration — that is to say an escalation,” Macron told the BFMTV news channel.

Israel probably wants an excuse to do nothing, or next-to-nothing, TBH.
The whole world seems to know Iran is spoiling for a fight, but nobody wants to take the bait.
Forcing Israel to stand down, be like them, cowards.
If Israel does not respond, it will lead to an ever-increasing escalation by Israel’s many enemies. You MUST punch the school yard bully in the nose. There’s no other way to gain his respect.
My suggestion is to fire several cruise missiles at Kharg Island and have them detonate just before they’d so any damage. It will pucker Iranian butts as all of their oil leaves via Kharg Island. There isn’t even a bridge, so they’d be years rebuilding it. The message would be clear, and they’d stop being so dramatic.
Politically, Netanyahu MUST respond.
As long as Macron behaves himself, there won’t be any escalation.
My suggestion to Israel, if they could get airspace clearance from Jordan and Saudi Arabia (unless they do it from the Gulf of Oman) would be to damage Iran’s naval facilities on the Strait of Hormuz to make it hard for Iran to close the strait. That’s how Iran has exerted control in the past over Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE. I’m sure those nations would appreciate Iran no longer being able to screw with them.
the little Napoleon-wannabe isn’t living up to the role
while he is preparing to invade Russia, he is unfriendly to the Jews
Napoleon was at leas
Macron has the ability to make me laugh so excuse me while I hit the floor.
Macron is a Moron
