French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has issued a stark warning over the escalating Middle East conflict, calling the situation “perilous” and far more costly than anticipated. Speaking in the French National Assembly, she questioned optimistic claims by Donald Trump that a resolution could come “very soon.” Le Pen highlighted the growing risks for Gulf nations, noting that countries aligned with the United States are now facing direct retaliation from Iran. She suggested that Iran’s military capabilities appear more resilient than expected, raising concerns about prolonged instability in the region.
