PARIS is in a panic today after French President Emmanuel Macron was brutally told to “get lost” during a high-stakes phone call with Iran’s rising power player, Mojtaba Khamenei.
In a conversation that reportedly ended with the dial tone ringing in the Frenchman’s ears, Macron begged the Iranian leader to stop a stranglehold on global trade that he warns is pushing the world toward “unprecedented famine and economic collapse.”
But the plea for mercy fell on deaf ears. Instead of a deal, Macron was met with a stinging lecture on Western hypocrisy and a demand to kick out Allied ambassadors.
The ‘Blame Trump’ Game
Sources reveal that Macron tried to play the “good cop,” distancing Europe from Washington’s hardline stance. “This is American policy, and we reject it,” Macron reportedly claimed, desperate to secure safe passage for French ships currently caught in the crosshairs of Middle Eastern tensions.
But Mr. Khamenei—the influential son of the Supreme Leader—wasn’t buying the Gallic charm offensive.
When Macron pleaded that the current conflict was “punishing the world, not Trump,” Khamenei hit back: “Where were you when the Iranian people were starved for 45 years?”
The French President reportedly went as far as offering a “blank cheque” to the Iranian regime, promising a summit with EU leaders where Iran could “have whatever you wish.”
The response? A cold demand for revenge.
”We don’t want anything except to punish Trump and Netanyahu,” Khamenei reportedly barked, before telling Macron that if he wants French ships to pass safely, he must first expel American and Israeli ambassadors from Paris.
Dismissing the President as a “two-faced” leader who tries to play both sides, the Iranian heir-apparent abruptly ended the call, leaving French diplomacy in the dirt.
The explosive call comes as global markets reel from escalating blockades in key shipping lanes.
The Mojtaba Factor: Mojtaba Khamenei is increasingly seen as the “power behind the throne” in Tehran, taking a lead role in foreign policy as his father, the Supreme Leader, ages.
Shipping Crisis: French vessels, along with much of the EU’s merchant fleet, are facing “unprecedented” risks, leading to a spike in insurance costs and a looming shortage of basic goods.
The Trump Shadow: Iran’s leadership remains hyper-focused on retaliation against Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, viewing the current economic disruption as their primary lever of power.
”We don’t deal with those who rely on two sides.” — Mojtaba Khamenei’s parting shot to the Elysee Palace.
