France is preparing charter flights to evacuate its nationals from the Middle East as violence spreads across the region after Israeli and US air strikes on Iran, Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on Tuesday. He added that French diplomatic and military teams were fully mobilised and, at this stage, no French citizens have been killed or injured.
“We are preparing to charter flights so that the most vulnerable people, those who deserve to be accompanied, can benefit from them if necessary,” Barrot told French broadcaster BFMTV.
