France's President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday urged Israel to end strikes on targets in Iran not linked to nuclear activities or ballistic missiles, his office said.
Addressing a national security council meeting, he "noted his concern over the current escalation, with Israeli strikes increasingly hitting targets not linked to Iran's nuclear or ballistic programme, and a mounting number of civilian victims in Iran and Israel", it said.
Macron said it was "necessary to urgently end these military operations, which pose significant threats to regional security".
