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.

    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
