France has authorised United States forces to use French military bases during the conflict involving Iran, according to a report by BFMTV.

The broadcaster said the decision would allow US armed forces access to facilities on French territory as the war continues to expand across the region.

Officials at the French Ministry of Armed Forces did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report.

I don't think those missiles fly that far. Nevertheless, this is an absurd move after learning first hand what the Trump-Epstein regime is like.
