Macron Convenes Security Council Over Iran and Greenland

French President Emmanuel Macron has convened the French Security Council to discuss developments in both Iran and Greenland. Simultaneously, the dispatch of 15 French soldiers to Greenland was announced to participate in the 'Arctic Resilience' military exercise, requested by Denmark and also involving Germany, Sweden, and Norway. This move follows a meeting in the US between the Danish and Greenlandic Foreign Ministers with US officials, where the Danish minister stated that President Trump desires to acquire Greenland. France aims to demonstrate NATO's presence in Greenland and support the strengthening of the region's security, as well as that of the US, in response to American intentions. Greenland anticipates an increase in the military presence of NATO countries on its territory in the coming days. The White House and the French Foreign Ministry reacted with electronic messages, expressing their respective positions. The White House presented an image of Greenland choosing between the US, Russia, and China, while the French Foreign Ministry emphasized that Greenland is and will remain Danish territory. The situation in Greenland has attracted the attention of international actors, with France seeking to ensure a European presence and prevent unilateral American action. The military exercise and diplomatic moves indicate an effort to deter and maintain stability in the region.
