French President Emmanuel Macron has said France deployed in the recent hours Rafale fighter jets, anti-air systems and air radars for the purpose of intercepting missiles and drones.
He also confirmed that Paris is sending its aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle – the flagship of the French Navy – towards the Mediterranean.
Unless I’m mistaken, I’m pretty sure Iran is trying to very carefully target only US infrastructure in those countries (air bases, embassies, consulates, etc…)
It’s a dangerous line to try to tread, but it sends a message that I think they desperately need to send. “We’re not against you, just against the assholes using your land as launching points.”
Frankly I’d do the same thing.
Naw, Iran is directly targeting energy infrastructure and ports in surrounding gulf countries as well.
