[French Foreign Minister Says Risk of Escalation Between US and Iran "Not Completely Ruled Out"] Golden Finance reports that on November 10, French Foreign Minister Manuel Barro stated that the risk of escalation between the United States and Iran "has not been completely ruled out." Barro made these remarks during a media interview after attending the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris. He stated that France supports efforts by all parties to ease tensions, particularly supporting regional countries in pushing for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and resolving the issue through political means to avoid further military conflict. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said during the meeting that Britain advocates ending the war with Iran through a "comprehensive diplomatic effort." He stated that the current deadlock between the US and Iran, characterized by "neither war nor peace," should be broken, as it is detrimental to the economies of all countries. He also said that it is necessary to "prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed state" and "ensure that the Strait of Hormuz is truly reopened." (Xinhua)
