Macron says Hormuz maritime mission can be deployed within days
President Macron stated France and allies could deploy a maritime mission within days to secure the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S.-Iran truce is confirmed. The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and other assets could be ready in 2-3 days, with France and the U.K. leading the effort. The U.S.-Iran deal does not address Iran’s nuclear program, and uncertainty remains about potential tolls in the strait.
