French President Macron said on the 19th about the Iran war: "This escalation of events (Israel's attack on Iranian gas fields and Iran's retaliation) is reckless. We support a halt to attacks on civilian infrastructure. Gas, oil, and water must never be targets of attacks. Considering that the region is in a religious holiday period, I believe everyone should calm down and stop fighting for at least a few days to give negotiations a chance."
Comment: Macron's words are reasonable, humane, and correct, but they have almost no binding force. Neither Israel, Iran, nor the US will stop because of a single sentence from Macron. It is essentially a political statement, not a solution.
