In an interview with France Info, just a few hours before the deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Jean-Noël Barrot stated that such attacks would have serious consequences. "If we all oppose attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure, it is primarily because they are prohibited by the rules of warfare and international law, and secondly because, in the event of war in Iran, they would undoubtedly lead to a new phase of escalation and retaliatory measures," said Barrot. He warned that the consequences would be significant, leading to further retaliation and worsening already high fuel prices. Recall that over the weekend, Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and threatened to otherwise bomb Iran's public infrastructure. Trump stated that Iran has until Tuesday at 8:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) to reach an agreement. Today, Trump shocked the world with a statement warning of the possible consequences of Iran's refusal to open the Strait of Hormuz. "An entire civilization will die tonight and never be restored. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump said.
