处境艰难的法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周日将法国全国范围内爆发的大规模骚乱和抢劫的部分责任归咎于美国针对伊朗恐怖政权的战争。
他在电视讲话中提及伊朗战争的争议性言论引发了一些专家的批评。马克龙表示：“示威者表达了对生活成本和燃油价格的担忧。这两者都因波斯湾爆发的冲突而上涨，法国并未参与这场冲突，但我们正在承受其后果。”
他补充道：“我完全理解他们的担忧。其他几个欧洲国家的首都也出现了这种担忧。这就是为什么我在国际层面采取了多项举措，以保障我们的燃油和天然气供应，并对能源市场采取行动。”马克龙宣布他将前往海湾地区进行三国之行，讨论能源危机问题。

目前尚不清楚马克龙具体指出了哪些示威者据称对燃油价格表示担忧。福克斯新闻数字频道周一报道了这场大规模骚乱的内情，其中许多组织的目标是废除自由企业制度。
马克龙强调，那些“试图颠覆共和国”的人将被追究责任。
唐纳德·特朗普总统周一对记者表示：“我第一次会见马克龙时就说过，你必须关闭边境。否则你会毁了你的国家。而他们确实毁了自己的国家。要恢复原状将很困难。但希望法国能够重回正轨。”
法国外交部发言人向福克斯新闻数字频道提及了马克龙总统周日的电视讲话，并请福克斯新闻数字频道向爱丽舍宫新闻办公室咨询其他问题。截至发稿时，爱丽舍宫新闻办公室未予回复。
伊朗问题专家丽莎·达夫塔里告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“马克龙将矛头指向伊朗战争，但燃油价格上涨是因为伊朗政权封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，挟持了全球能源供应。更大的问题是，这到底是不是关于学生和燃油价格的抗议。重要基础设施和地标被纵火，全国各地商店遭到洗劫，仅一天内就有近2400人被捕。”
身为《外交版》总编辑的达夫塔里表示：“这不是一场针对柴油价格的抗议。这是有组织的无法无天行为，马克龙自己的政府也承认这一点，将其归咎于极左翼团体和犯罪分子。法国正遭遇国内危机，当前地缘政治不能成为其借口。”

法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努指责“极左翼运动”“在总统大选前夕在全国范围内策划了严重动乱”
伦敦亨利·杰克逊协会副研究员巴拉克·西纳告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“从中东、北非、撒哈拉以南非洲以及阿富汗、巴基斯坦和孟加拉国非法移民到欧洲国家的人，是用来主宰西方的特洛伊木马。‘将起义全球化’‘解放加沙’‘停止种族灭绝’这类口号是颠覆并最终主宰西方文明、实施伊斯兰教法的暗号。马克龙仍在犯忽视这一点的错误。”

副总统J·D·万斯在社交媒体帖子中批评法国的移民政策漏洞百出。万斯在X平台上写道：“西方自由主义者以多样性和同情心为名，将第三世界人口输入法国和其他国家。”
他补充道：“他们忽视了同化和兼容性这一基本问题。有人早就告诉他们这会导致如今的局面，但他们充耳不闻。”

西纳表示，同样地，法国政治精英的政治正确和对巴勒斯坦国的单方面支持已经反噬自身。正如马克龙在第81届联合国大会上无知地宣称哈马斯“从未在约旦河西岸活跃过”一样，马克龙为迎合其政治议程而歪曲现实的做法令人震惊。”
曾大量撰写有关伊朗问题文章的西纳补充道：“他选择向学生、教师、工会成员、议员和商界领袖发表讲话，将油价上涨归咎于美国领导的对伊朗战争。这与此毫无关联。更根本的是，马克龙选择忽视导致法国各地骚乱的红绿联盟，其中包括38个激进左翼和穆斯林组织，以及16个学生组织，其中包括共产主义青年团体和法国穆斯林学生协会等穆斯林学生组织。”

Beleaguered Macron cites US-Iran war as factor in protests amid Trump, Vance criticism

‘France has a domestic crisis, and current geopolitics are not the alibi for it,’ Iran expert says

The embattled French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday pinned some of the blame on the U.S. war against the terrorist regime in Iran for the widespread riots and looting unfolding across France.
The controversial passage referring to the Iran war from his televised speech triggered criticism from some experts. Macron said that “demonstrators expressed concern about the cost of living and the price of fuel. Both are driven by the conflict launched in the Persian Gulf, a conflict in which France has taken no part but whose consequences we are suffering.”
He added, “I fully understand their concern. It is being expressed in several other European capitals as well. That is why I have taken several initiatives at the international level to secure our fuel and our gas and to act on energy markets.” Macron announced that he would be traveling to the Gulf on a three-nation stop to discuss the energy crisis.
FRANCE’S TEEN RIOTS TAKE EXPLOSIVE NEW TURN AS GOVERNMENT POINTS FINGER AT HARD LEFT
Protests over the rising cost of living brought together students, climate activists, former “Yellow Vests,” and farmers ahead of the presidential election, drawing an estimated 200,000 participants across France, including 40,000 in Paris on October 17, 2026.(Kiran RIDLEY / AFP via Getty Images)
It is unclear which demonstrators Macron signaled out for alleged concerns about fuel prices. Fox News Digital reported on Monday on the inner workings of the large-scale riots with many of the groups named seeking to abolish the free enterprise system.
Macron stressed that those who have tried “to bring down the republic will be held accountable.”
President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that, “I said the first time I met Macron, I said, you got to close up your borders. You’re going to ruin your country. And they’ve ruined their country. It’s going to be hard to get it back. But hopefully France will come back.”
A spokesman for the French foreign ministry pointed Fox News Digital to President Macron’s televised address on Sunday and referred Fox News Digital to the Elysée press office for other questions. The Élysée press office did not respond by time of publication.
Lisa Daftari, an Iran expert, told Fox News Digital, “Macron is pointing at the Iran war, but fuel is expensive because Iran’s regime closed the Strait of Hormuz and held the world’s energy supply hostage. The bigger question is whether this is really about students and fuel prices at all. Major infrastructures and landmarks have been set on fire, shops were looted across the country and nearly 2,400 people were arrested in a single day.”
According to Daftari, who is the Foreign Desk Editor-in-Chief, “That’s not a protest over the price of diesel. It’s organized lawlessness and Macron’s own government admits it, blaming ultra-left groups and criminals. France has a domestic crisis, and current geopolitics are not the alibi for it.”
WHO’S WHO: INSIDE FRANCE’S ‘CHAOS INC.’ FRANCHISE OF COMMUNIST GROUPS, LABOR UNIONS AND GLOBAL ACTIVISTS

French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu accused the “ultra-left movement” of “orchestrating profound disorder in the country leading up to the presidential election “
Barak Seener, an associate research fellow at the London-based Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital that “Illegal immigration from the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa as well as from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh to European states serve as Trojan horses to dominate the West. Calls to ‘globalize the intifada’ and ‘Free Gaza’ and ‘Stop the genocide’ are codes to subvert and ultimately dominate Western civilization and impose Sharia law. Macron is still making the mistake of ignoring this.”

In a social media post Vice President JD Vance criticized France for its porous immigration policy. Vance wrote on X that “Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion.”
He added: “They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn’t listen.”

Seener said that similarly, the French political establishment’s political correctness and unilateral support of a Palestinian state have come home to roost. Just as Macron ignorantly declared at the 81st United Nations General Assembly that Hamas ‘has never been active’ in the West Bank, it is remarkable how Macron is reframing reality to suit his political agenda.”
Seener, who has written extensively about Iran, added that “He has chosen to address students, teachers, trade unions, lawmakers and business leaders and increased oil prices due to the U.S.-led war against Iran. It is unrelated to this. More fundamentally, Macron is choosing to ignore the Red-Green alliance that has contributed to the riots across France, including 38 radical Left and Muslim organizations and 16 student organizations which includes communist youth groups and a Muslim student association such as the Muslim Students of France.”
