RFE: French President Says Iran Behind Yemeni Missile Launch, Calls For Talks

French President Emmanuel Macron is blaming Iran for a ballistic missile launch by Yemeni rebels targeting Riyadh last weekend, and said it illustrates the need for negotiations with Tehran over its missile development.

"The missile which was intercepted by Saudi Arabia launched from Yemen, which obviously is an Iranian missile, shows precisely the strength of their" program, Macron said late on November 9 as he visited the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

"There are extremely strong concerns about Iran" among its Arab neighbors in the Persian Gulf region over the missile launch, and "there are negotiations we need to start on Iran's ballistic missiles," he said.

Macron said the right thing, but he is no Putin.

The cuckold does have better hair, so that makes him more electable.

I think its important to investigate and not jump to conclusions, especially when the Saudi's are involved. This could be a false flag.

If such a investigation did reveal that the missile launched by the rebels was an Iranian ballistic missile, just imagine how far Iran would go to weaponize terrorist rebel groups with nuclear technology once they've perfected it themselves.

That can't happen.
