French Foreign Minister Barot said that France was not involved in the US air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and expressed concerns over the US actions, urging all parties to exercise restraint.

AFP reported that Barrow said in a post on X on Sunday (June 22) : "France expresses concern over the US air strikes on three Iranian nuclear program facilities last night."

He also emphasized that France was not involved in the planning of this air strike, and at the same time urged all parties to exercise restraint and avoid any escalation that might prolong the conflict.

The French presidential palace said that Macron will convene a meeting of the National Defense and National Security Council on Sunday.
