President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that France had not been consulted and wasn't taking part in the war against Iran, after US leader Donald Trump criticised the country's overflight ban on planes carrying military supplies for the conflict.
"It is absolutely true that France, which has not been consulted and is not part of this military offensive launched by the United States and Israel, is not taking part in it," Macron said in an interview with Japanese broadcaster NHK during his visit to Tokyo, adding that had been France's stance since "day one" of the war.
