The French deputy expressed regret over the attacks on gas facilities jointly owned by Iran and Qatar, noting that the war led by the United States and Israel has deviated from its initial aims related to the nuclear issue, and has so far failed to achieve the announced results.

Mazouri stressed that the solution cannot be military, calling for an immediate ceasefire and opening the space for negotiations, warning of a scenario in which Iran becomes another Iraq, with the chaos and internal divisions that would bring.

The head of the France-Qatar Friendship Group said France is working with European partners and regional countries, especially Qatar, to launch a political process that guarantees stability, stressing that his country is not a party to the war, but focuses on defensive support for the Gulf states and a diplomatic move to end the conflict.

The maritime crisis: Regarding the shipping crisis, the member of the French National Assembly said securing the Strait of Hormuz by force is unrealistic, suggesting the solution lies in negotiation, with international forces to be deployed later to protect shipping after a ceasefire.

He criticized US President Donald Trump's policies, saying that he made the decision to go to war unilaterally without consulting European allies, then returned to seek their support, stressing that France is an ally of the United States but not its subordinate.

Regarding the escalation in Lebanon, Mazouri noted that France continues its efforts to maintain a ceasefire, despite thousands of violations by the Israeli side, calling for an end to military operations and the disarmament of Hezbollah in parallel with respecting Lebanon's sovereignty.

He also stressed France's rejection of assassination policies, urged adherence to international law and the United Nations Charter, considering that the solution lies in dialogue rather than physical eliminations.

Mazouri revealed that France called for action within the United Nations Security Council to form an international contact group to provide security guarantees to the Gulf states and open negotiation channels, noting that his country would not remain idle in the face of escalation.

The French deputy concluded by reiterating that diplomacy remains the only way to end conflicts, urging all parties to halt fighting and work toward restoring stability in the Middle East, warning that continuing the war will lead to further humanitarian and economic suffering in the region.
