France opts out of US-led coalition against Yemen

Tehran, IRNA – French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that his country will not join a US-led coalition against Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah resistance movement which has taken retaliatory actions against the Zionist regime in the Red Sea for its bloody war on Gaza.

“France has decided not to join a coalition that has carried out pre-emptive strikes against the Houthis on their soil,” Macron told reporters.

He said the reason behind the decision is that France has a position that seeks to avoid any escalation, emphasizing that the subject was not “military” but “diplomatic”.

The United States has formed a naval coalition to counter the operations of the Yemeni army in the Red Sea. Over two dozen ships linked to the Zionist regime or those heading to Israeli ports have been targeted in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in recent weeks in response to the regime’s genocide in the Gaza Strip. 

The US and UK militaries recently targeted several areas inside Yemen in violation of the Arab country’s sovereignty and in breach of international law.  

However, the Yemeni armed forces have pledged to continue attacking Israeli-linked ships until the regime stops its genocidal onslaught on Gaza and ends its blockade of the Palestinian coastal sliver.
