“France, committed to Israel’s security, today mobilized its military assets in the Middle East to defend itself against the Iranian threat,” RIA Novosti reports in a statement from the office.
Macron is also reported to have strongly condemned the Iranian missile attack.
Let us remember that Iran attacked Israel by firing, according to various estimates, between 180 and 400 missiles. It was observed that some of them were intercepted by the Israeli air defense and others by systems installed on the destroyers USS Bulkeley and USS Cole of the US Navy.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attack targeted Israeli military and security facilities in response to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other commanders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that Iran has made a big mistake and will pay for it.
