PARIS - France will not rush into commenting on who was behind an attack on Saudi oil installations, a foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Wednesday. Asked in an online briefing whether Paris considered the Saudi and US analysis that Iran was behind the attack to be credible, the spokeswoman responded: “We share the desire to carefully establish the facts before making any reaction.”

Earlier in the day, French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said Paris would send experts to Saudi Arabia to help with investigations into the attack.Our Standards:

Exactly right! Satellites can detect when you strike a match. Drones and missiles, allegedly used in Saudi Arabia, can be satellite tracked and confirmed. Let's see the evidence.

Sheesh what a novel idea!

France & the rest of the US allies 'Waited 4 the Facts' about Iraq & don't ya just know it, the American govt manufactured exactly what they needed to support attacking a country which'd had NOTHING to do with 9/11... but all got a share of Saddam's oil. Et maintenant Iran?

Makes sense. Proper information and investigation is in the hands of an administration that cuts citizens into pieces in other countries for having a different opinion so good luck with that one.

Macron has much time for affairs outside of ailing France. Interesting.

France busy getting those white flags ready.

Just in case he finds out that France flogged the drones to Iran...

Bravo!

Facts Saudi and uae has committed many war crimes in Yemen. Fact if Yemenis hit back don’t go crying to your puppeteers America for help.

'Faites confiance et vérifiez encore...'

French administration is vastly deferent from Trump administration who follows the fluid gasses in its bowel rather than its mind.

France doesn't believe what US said!

Macron and his 'facts'. Holding up the works...

Facts? Can't we collect the facts AFTER we deal with them?

Imagine that. A leader who wants facts before speaking or committing to action. Huh. Such a concept.
