France, Norway Say US, Israel Military Strikes on Iran Lack Legal Basis

France and Norway together questioned the legality of military strikes on Iran by Israel and the US, breaking with allies who have endorsed the attacks.

“There is no legal basis for these strikes, even if France shares the goal of Iran not having nuclear weapons,” Emmanuel Macron told reporters during a visit to Norway on Monday. Although the French president has distanced himself from the conflict with Iran from the beginning, these were his strongest comments yet.
