The Iranian ambassador to France was summoned to the Republic’s Foreign Ministry amid rising tensions caused by Iran’s attack, French Foreign Minister Stéphane Sejournet said April 14 on France 2 TV.
“An Iranian attack puts at risk not only Israel, but also the security of our forces and the airspace of our Arab partners… I have asked the department’s services to summon the Iranian ambassador to express this strong conviction.”Séjournet said.
Note that, according to public information, the French military helped Israel track the Iranian attack. This circumstance allows us to interpret them as participants in the conflict.
Let us remember that France has many military bases outside its national territory. Most military bases are located in Africa, on the territory of former colonies.
One of the French military bases is located in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates). The base, called Peace Camp, has a capacity for 500 soldiers. Its presence allows control of the Strait of Hormuz, the most important transportation artery in the region.
In 2020, Jaguar special forces were deployed there; The official justification for their presence was the fight against terrorism.
