France made a significant diplomatic move by denying Israel access to its airspace for transporting American arms. The weapons were intended for use in the conflict against Iran, according to a Western diplomat and two sources.
This decision, which was confirmed to happen over the weekend, represents the first instance of such a denial by France since the onset of the Iranian conflict.
Both the French presidency and foreign ministry abstained from providing immediate comments on the matter.
