French President Emmanual Macron on Sunday assured US counterpart Donald Trump of “his complete solidarity” and urged Iran to avoid “military escalation that could aggravate instability in the region.”https://www.channelstv.com/2020/01/05/macron-urges-iran-to-avoid-escalation-voices-solidarity-with-us/?fbclid=IwAR0DtJbx-gfC9nhFdUgorI-QoAB5TTVmf-Z35taFi1EmELTljqb8GKgTqSw
Macron noted “mounting tensions in Iraq and in the region”, and expressed concern that Iranian forces that were commanded by slain general Qasem Soleimani could take actions that would destabilise the region, in a statement issued by the Elysee presidential office.
The French president “reiterated the necessity that Iran put an end” to such activities.
“The priority should be pursuing international coalition action against Daesh, with full respect for Iraq’s sovereignty, for its security and for regional stability,” Macron said, using an Arabic name for the Islamic State group.
