FRANCE PERSPECTIVE

Paris dissects the Islamabad stakes with the meticulousness of a country that knows its kerosene and energy imports depend on the Strait of Hormuz. France Info breaks down the three files on the table — Lebanon ceasefire, Hormuz reopening, uranium enrichment — emphasizing that each is a Gordian knot in itself. France 24 brings a rarely covered angle: the fate of ordinary Iranians after a ceasefire, with the chilling testimony that 'the regime will crush the people' once international pressure eases. French coverage oscillates between technical negotiation analysis and humanitarian concern, a duality reflecting Paris's position: allied with Washington but wary of its methods, worried about civilians but powerless to shape the terms.
