French President Macron talks about the Iran war today: "I think there are no signs indicating that this war will end in the coming days. Therefore, I think this war will definitely last for several days, even weeks, at this intense stage. It also depends on how the warring parties (the US, Israel, and Iran) clearly define their ultimate goals, and what the so-called ideal end state is."
Comment: The United States currently has no clear and unified war objectives. Today it says it's hitting the right targets, tomorrow it says it's just beginning, one moment it's applying maximum pressure, the next it's unwilling to expand the war. This back-and-forth and confusion is the key reason why the conflict hasn't stopped. Macron sees clearly: the US isn't winning the war, but is just shooting in a haphazard way based on emotions and political calculations. This is the most unsettling part for Europe.
