Military exercises in which UK collaborated earlier this month look even more sinister
French president Emmanuel Macron has called on French citizens in Iran to leave the country urgently, in a sign that the French expect an imminent and major US attack on Iran as neo-fascist Donald Trump looks to protect Israel from the consequences of its actions.
Macron’s call comes after weeks of US-Israel military exercises, aimed at Iran, in which the UK has collaborated, providing fighters and refuelling aircraft – and after reports of ‘unprecedented’ US military intelligence activity close to the Iranian border:
The UK’s collusion in Israel’s impunity and aggression against its neighbours is well known, with hundreds of spy flights over Gaza feeding intelligence to the Israeli regime even during the recent ceasefire and UK fighters helping to shoot down Iranian attacks retaliating for Israeli assassinations and bombing attacks – and Keir Starmer’s eagerness to act as a US and Israel ‘poodle’ and war-crimes apologist is self-evident.
But the use of a UK airbase as a launching point, and UK fighters as escorts, for preparation for direct heavy bombing attacks against one of the few nations capable of resisting the Netanyahu regime’s ‘greater Israel’ expansion ambitions. Trump’s and Netanyahu’s warmongering, greed and recklessness continue to murder huge numbers of innocent Palestinians – and their likely assault on Iran pose a chilling threat that could easily trigger a crippling global oil and economic crisis and one that could easily bring Russia and China into the conflict.

Any sources for this report?
Or is it an interpretation of the French Foreign Ministry advising French Nationals to leave following the release of a French Citizen after several year’s detention which has been taken out of context?
Thanks in advance.
There’s this,, posted this morning on The Duran.

Thank you timfrom.
However, having watched and listened to this short piece twice in the space of the past few hours, whilst the podcast provides a succinct overview of where we are now, I can find no reference to the French warning which forms the basis of this Skwawkbox article.
In fact, the conclusion of this Duran piece is that the situation right now is less dangerous/dire than previously under the Biden administration, and thus provides no corroboration for the tone and claims in this Skwawkbox article.
Granted, it was only tangentially on-topic, but is part of the overall renewed focus on Iran to take attention away from Gaza and keep Benny & Adelson happy.
Their is clear discontent among Iranians against the present regime. Economic sanctions have left many Iranian middle classes in a worsening economic situation and they resent the government.
Hence, the US could have been lead to believe that the Iranian people will welcome the US as liberators. Like Cubans, Iranians never mind how much they dislike their government, the majority of them dislike the US even more and they will fight the US.
The same mistake led Saddam, advised by the US and the UK to invade the oil fields in Southern Iran in the early 80s believing Iranians were demoralised and will not fight. We all know how it ended.
