The risk of a new escalation between the United States and Iran “has not been completely ruled out”, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot says, after Washington suggested there was currently no need for major combat operations, according to AFP.
“The risk of a resumption of strikes and an escalation has not been completely ruled out — otherwise, we would not have devoted so much time and energy over the past two days to addressing these issues with our American counterpart [Marco Rubio],” Barrot says after chairing a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Paris.
