Largely agree with you. Note though that France is now helping defend the Saudis against the Houthis, so it has got itself partially involved in the war ( https://www.newarab.com/news/french-military-support-saudi-a... ). That could explain why the Iranians launched a cyber attack against France (hybrid warfare). (Or, as you pointed, France could be trying to create an excuse to expand its role in the war ...).
