Jean-Luc Mélenchon is particularly reassembled against the now direct involvement of the United States in the war between Israel and Iran. He thus denounced on Sunday on X a “war crime” after the American strikes against neuralgic sites of the Iranian nuclear program.
“Bombing nuclear sites is a war crime and when the materials spread in the planet’s atmosphere, it is a crime against humanity,” reacted the leader of rebellious France.
Mélenchon castigates a “fatal duo”
“(Benyamin) Netanyahu and (Donald) Trump put humanity in danger to satisfy their need for domination without control […] These two rely on the legitimate detestation of the Iranian regime to have the law of the strongest accepted by genocide and bombing. France must refuse to align with this deadly duo and carry the flag of peace without pretense, “he also said.
Also on the left, the same conviction came from the former rebellious, François Ruffin. “Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya…. And now Iran. The same causes will produce the same effects: chaos and isolation of “Western” lessons of lessons to better sit on international law, “he denounced on X.
On the government side, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot expressed the “concern” of France on Sunday after the strikes, urging “the parties to restraint”. A reaction criticized by the group of LFI deputies in the Assembly: “by expressing only its” concern “, France is not up to the situation. She must condemn this attack bluntly, disengage from all alliance with these war fairs and appeal to an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council and its general assembly ”.
“Gangsterization of international relations”
In the evening on Sunday, the PS also condemned strikes “decided unilaterally and in defiance of international law”. “Latest ramparts of democracy and multilateralism”, France and Europe “must cease to lift and give the means to enforce international law against the law of the strongest and to trust diplomatic action to achieve negotiated and sustainable solutions on the international level”.

The conviction of the strikes was also to put the PCF. According to the party, the American and Israeli governments “take criminal responsibility to dive the region into the war, with the aim of reshaping it according to their imperialist ambitions. They trample on international law. This is an irremediable step towards the gangsterization of international relations caused by force policies ”.
