Moyen-Orient: Macron dénonce une "escalade inconsidérée" et plaide pour une trêve pendant l'Aïd
Emmanuel Macron on Thursday denounced an "unthinkable escalation" in the Middle East where the war has spread to hydrocarbon production sites, particularly in Qatar, and called for a "stop" of the fighting during Eid al-Fitr, the festival that marks the end of Ramadan.
"Several (...) Gulf countries have been hit for the first time on their production capacities, in the same way that Iran was hit," noted the French president upon his arrival at a European summit in Brussels, calling for "direct" discussions between Americans and Iranians on this issue.
On Wednesday night, Emmanuel Macron proposed a "moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water infrastructure" after speaking with US President Donald Trump and the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
These strikes continued after that call.
"We will continue to mobilize, and obviously, we have also conveyed this message to the Iranians," the French president told reporters in Brussels. He added that he hoped "direct discussions could take place between the Americans and Iranians on this issue."
"I think that all minds should calm down and the fighting should stop at least for a few days to try to give negotiations another chance," Emmanuel Macron insisted, taking advantage of the end of Ramadan being celebrated in the very near future.
