World leaders discuss Iran conflict and seek to avoid escalation

French President Emmanuel Macron said France is not involved in combat in the Iran conflict and expressed solidarity with Spain's Pedro Sanchez after what were described as commercial threats from Donald Trump. He also held discussions with other leaders, including Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Germany's Friedrich Merz, about preventing further escalation.

Separately, President Donald Trump criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for what he called a lack of support, while Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told both Macron and Starmer that the conflict risks wider instability and that more can be done to build dialogue.
