Iraq must not be drawn into 'escalation', France's Macron says

Every effort must be made to avoid Iraq being sucked up into an escalation of the Middle East war, French President Emmanuel Macron said Saturday after speaking with the head of the country's autonomous Kurdistan region.

"Everything must be done to avoid Iraq being drawn into the current escalation," Macron said on X after a deadly strike in northern Iraq against the former paramilitary group the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF).

The PMF -- now part of Iraq's army but which includes some pro-Iran factions -- said three of its fighters were killed in what it described as a U.S.-Israeli attack.
