France FM Barrot: France Ready to Take Part in Defense of Gulf Countries and Jordan Against Iran

French Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced France is ready to participate in the defense of Gulf countries and Jordan against Iranian attacks. This marks a significant shift from the earlier French position under Macron, who stated France was neither warned nor involved in the initial US-Israel strikes. Barrot statement signals Paris may join the UK in providing active air defense support to regional allies.
