French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday voiced solidarity with Spain following recent threats by US President Donald Trump over Madrid’s stance on Iran.
Macron has just spoken with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez “to express France’s European solidarity in response to the recent threats of economic coercion that Spain was targeted with yesterday," the French Presidency told broadcaster BFMTV.
European Council President Antonio Costa also expressed the EU’s solidarity with Madrid and noted that the bloc “will always ensure that the interests of its Member States are fully protected.”
So anything that Iran hits is automatically a valid target… How come it doesn’t work the other way?
Are hospitals and school girls valid targets? One side is acting defensively. If you’ve been following this conflict for a while, you’d know that Iran has done as much as possible to avoid this conflict. Their back is against the wall and they’re swinging.
Absolutely not valid targets, bordering on war crimes.
Which in no way justifies attacking civilians on the other side. Hotels, airports, embassies…
