The former chief of staff of the Air Force declared on the BMFTV-RMC platform that “Iran must not be allowed to breathe.” He also stated that he does not believe in the ceasefire proclaimed by the Americans.
Invited on the BFMTV-RMC platform this Wednesday, Jean-Paul Paloméros, former chief of staff of the Air Force, stated that “it is likely that the war will restart” in the Middle East. A ceasefire has been in place for a month by Donald Trump, but assaults are still ongoing.
“We must not just endure. Enduring is terrible. We must be proactive, in one way or another. Diplomatically, militarily… I believe we must not let Iran breathe,” said Jean-Paul Paloméros.
“That’s why I am not at all convinced by the ceasefire, as it was initiated unilaterally by the Americans,” he said.
An “attitude change”
The former chief of staff also revisited the best posture to adopt towards Iran. “Everything must be done to bring Iran back to some form of understanding and attitude change,” stated Jean-Paul Paloméros.
He added: “For me, this involves a regime change and probably war.”
He then asserts that a “clear alternative” is now emerging: “either we let Iran develop and continue to kill its own people and dominate the region, or we say it’s over.”
No compromise
Several weeks after the announcement of a ceasefire by the United States, the shadow of a new escalation of war looms over the Middle East.
As France and the United Kingdom prepare for an offensive mission to ensure the passage in the Strait of Hormuz, the Americans have stated their readiness to take up arms again in case of a ceasefire breach by launching a new mission called “Iron Hammer.”
Iran has also dismissed any compromise after the rejection of its proposal by Donald Trump. “Any other approach would be fruitless,” declared the chief negotiator of the Islamic Republic.
