[French Foreign Minister Says US Threat to Eliminate Iran's "Entire Civilization" "Excessive"] French Foreign Minister Manuel Barro, in an interview with France 2 television on the evening of the 7th, stated that the US threat to eliminate Iran's "entire civilization" was "excessive," and that France opposes attacks on civilian infrastructure. When asked about the US remarks, Barro quoted a French proverb: "Anything excessive is insignificant." He said this was not the first "ultimatum" issued by the US since the start of the conflict. If these threats were implemented, the Middle East and the world would be dragged into a "new phase of escalation." Barro emphasized that the US threat to attack Iranian civilian infrastructure is something France "firmly opposes," as such attacks "harm those already suffering from the war" and violate international law.
