French President Emmanuel Macron praised American military attacks against Iranian nuclear sites on Thursday. He told reporters the strikes worked well but warned about serious consequences. Macron fears Iran might leave the global treaty that stops countries from building nuclear weapons. He called this possibility the worst outcome from recent events. The French leader spoke to journalists after European Union meetings ended.
Macron plans to contact all five permanent United Nations Security Council members about the situation. He wants to keep Iran from abandoning the nuclear treaty that limits weapon development worldwide. The president already began these discussions when he called Donald Trump on Thursday. Macron told Trump about recent conversations between France and Iranian officials. Both leaders hope to prevent Iran from restarting nuclear weapon work.
Iran signed the nuclear treaty back in 1970 and promised to report all nuclear materials to international inspectors. However, Iranian officials recently started preparing to possibly quit the agreement. They blame the inspection agency for helping Israel during current conflicts. Iran accuses the international group of taking sides against them.
American B-2 bombers attacked two Iranian nuclear locations last weekend with powerful underground bombs. A submarine also fired cruise missiles at a third nuclear site. Trump declared the military operation a complete success and said the attacks destroyed the targets. American intelligence reports suggest the strikes delayed Iranian nuclear progress for several months rather than stopping it permanently.
