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.

Macron is Trump and Netanyahu’s little bitch boy. Wonder if this is representative of the French people?

Stupid and nonsensical yet largely upvoted. It's starting to smell like reddit in here.

Let's figure it out. You take your little legs, go to Marseille - preferably in the north districts, and tell the youngs who live there if they are Bibi's bitch. And please, stream it live (I'd recommend Kick as the content might quickly break Twitch TOS).

Ahhhh, the complicity of it all.

Imagine running a country and just letting the rising fascist front just occupy your own country like that. Pretending like the US are still the "good guys" somehow. The Trump administration is literally trying to end the world and y'all are helping them do it.

It seems they allow support aircraft to use one base in France, on the condition that they do not participate in actions against Iran. Possibly routine NATO stuff?

Probably a lie. Jordan and all the Gulf said that the US wouldn't be using their bases for bombing Iran and interceptions too and that was a complete lie
