What happened
France has deployed aircraft carriers and supporting naval assets to the Middle East to protect partners and help secure freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, where disruptions have been severe since the US-Iran conflict began earlier this year. The French Foreign Ministry stated that the country is working with the United States and other partners on a new UN Security Council resolution to establish an international mechanism for commercial shipping protection. The coalition, which includes the United Kingdom, aims to protect merchant vessels and ensure the waterway remains open for international trade.
