France's president Emmanuel Macron warns against trying to force a regime change in Iran, a goal he describes as a ”strategic mistake”.

All those who have been of the opinion that one can save a country from itself by letting external forces bomb it have always been mistaken, says Macron to reporters at the G7 meeting in Canada.

Macron also urged Israel and Iran to ”stop” attacking civilians.

If the US has the opportunity to arrange a ceasefire it would be highly desirable.
