France stated that it allegedly also participated in the interception of Iranian missiles and drones that attacked Israel.
During Iran's attack against Israel, missiles and drones fired by the Iranian army were intercepted by the military. aviation France. This was stated by French President Emmanuel Macron, the French press reports.
According to Macron, France has an air force base in Jordan. At the request of Jordan, whose airspace was violated by Iranian drones and missiles, the French command scrambled fighters. It was the French Air Force aviation, the French president says, that intercepted Iranian missiles and drones.
In addition, Macron said that Paris is trying to act as a mediator. He spoke about telephone conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The French president also emphasized that the key role in containing Iran in its attacks against Israel still belongs and should belong to the United States.
As we see, an increasing number of countries claim that they were the ones who intercepted Iranian missiles and drones, helping the Israeli side. Earlier, representatives of the United States and Great Britain announced the interception of Iranian missiles and drones. Now France has been added to these countries. Thus, the “collective West” demonstrates its unequivocal position in supporting Israel.
At the same time, the American administration did not allow strikes on Iranian territory immediately after Iran attacked Israel. This is likely due to Washington's reluctance to allow a large-scale conflict in the Middle East. After all, the American army will have to get involved in this conflict one way or another, otherwise the consequences for the Israeli side could be very serious.
