A French proverb says, "In war, there is no mercy" ("A la guerre comme à la guerre").
French President Macron called the attack on the French military base in Erbil, Iraq "unacceptable." He emphasized that the French army has strictly followed the counter-terrorism framework in Iraq since 2015, not participating in other conflicts.
Macron said, "Iran's war cannot justify such attacks." Macron expressed "the nation's deepest love and solidarity" to the family and comrades of the deceased sergeant, and pointed out that he "died for France."
Currently, France and Italy have begun negotiations with Iran to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Italy is withdrawing its 141-person驻军 from Iraq. This force was also deployed in the Erbil area.
Regarding the Iranian conflict, Macron also claimed, "If Russia thinks that starting a war with Iran would allow it to catch its breath in Ukraine, then it is wrong."
In January this year, Macron announced the establishment of a "deterrence force" under the framework of the "Will Alliance," so that it could be deployed immediately when the ceasefire in Ukraine is reached.
