PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron has made it crystal clear that France is not going to take part in any military operation aimed at securing the strategic Strait of Hormuz, despite the rising tensions in the region.
Speaking from Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron said that France is not a party to the conflict in the Middle East and has not planned anything in this regard. “France isn’t a participant in this dispute, and given the current situation, taking part in any military operation isn’t on the table,” French President Emmanuel Macron said.
Instead, the French President wants to form an international coalition aimed at ensuring the freedom of navigation in the Middle East when the situation is calm again. The French President stressed that the situation is crucial, emphasizing that the solution of the problem is possible only through international cooperation.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement is similar to the announcement of the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer that the UK is not going to take part in any operation aimed at opening the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz, an important waterway in the Middle East, has been at the center of the rising tensions between different countries in the Middle East in the past few weeks. Different countries, including the US, have discussed the possibility of forming an international coalition aimed at ensuring the safe passage of commercial vessels in the Middle East.
French officials are reportedly holding talks with different countries of the world aimed at forming an international coalition aimed at maintaining security in the Middle East without escalating the situation.
