French President Emmanuel Macron voiced his concerns about the ongoing escalation of attacks targeting Emirati civilian infrastructure and ships near the Strait of Hormuz.

During a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday, Macron condemned these strikes as 'unjustified.'

According to a statement released by Macron on X (formerly Twitter), he expressed his deep concern over regional developments and criticized the attacks on Emirati targets.

This conversation underscores France's commitment to addressing regional tensions through diplomatic means.

The Iranian presidency also confirmed that the two leaders discussed the latest developments in the region, including the situation at the Strait of Hormuz.

Pezeshkian appreciated France’s approach to resolving issues via dialogue and highlighted the necessity for negotiations within the framework of international laws and the lifting of the U.S.-imposed naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran seeks to address all issues in a manner consistent with its legitimate rights under international law.

He pointed out reasons for Iran's distrust of the United States, including excessive demands, threatening statements, and failure to adhere to necessary frameworks.

This dialogue between France and Iran signifies an attempt to find peaceful solutions to longstanding tensions in the region.

The ongoing conflict and diplomatic efforts regarding the Strait of Hormuz remain a significant point of contention in international relations, particularly with superpowers like the United States involved.
