Macron says US strikes on Iran not legal, but France shares objective of preventing nuclear Iran
French President Emmanuel Macron says there was no “framework of legality” regarding the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, adding that any regime change in the country should be a result of the will of the people, not of bombs.
“There is no framework of legality in these strikes, even if France shares the objective not to see Iran acquire nuclear weapons,” he tells reporters during a press conference in Oslo, alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere.
“I believe in the sovereignty of peoples and territorial integrity… so I don’t think we can take the place of a people to change its leaders,” Macron adds.
