French President Emmanuel Macron has called for the widening of sanctions against Iran, urging for measures that can also target industries supporting the production of missiles and drones. Macron made this statement during a meeting with European leaders in Brussels on Wednesday.

The call for broader sanctions comes in response to a recent escalation of tensions, particularly after Iran launched more than 300 projectiles towards Israel in a retaliatory aerial attack. This attack involved approximately 170 drones and over 120 ballistic missiles.
