French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the "reckless escalation" in the Middle East on Thursday, as the conflict spread to fuel production sites, particularly in Qatar, and called for a ceasefire during Eid al-Fitr.
Speaking in Brussels, where he is attending a European summit, Macron said that "several Gulf countries were targeted for the first time in their production capacities, just as Iran had been targeted previously," and called for "direct" talks between Americans and Iranians on this issue.
On Wednesday evening, the French president proposed an "immediate halt to strikes on civilian infrastructure, especially energy and water facilities," after speaking with U.S. President Donald Trump and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. However, the strikes continued despite the appeal.
Macron told journalists in Brussels: "We will continue to take action, and of course we have conveyed this message to the Iranians as well."
He expressed hope for "direct discussions between Americans and Iranians on this matter."
He added: "I believe everyone needs to calm down and stop the fighting for at least a few days to give negotiations another chance," calling for a ceasefire during Eid al-Fitr.
