French Aircraft Carrier Set to Head Home After Hormuz Deployment
French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle will return to its home port after a nearly two-month deployment near the Strait of Hormuz as an interim peace deal between the US and Iran eases tensions in the key waterway.
In view of the current relaxation in the Iran war, France is bringing back its carrier "Charles de Gaulle" to its home port of Toulon, said President Emmanuel Macron on Friday evening. The decision is based on the "favourable development" in the Iran war by the principle agreement between Washington and Tehran to stop the fighting. While the carrier was on its way home, the French mine hunters and frigates are reported to remain on the ground.
As Emmanuel Macron wrote in a post, the mine-clearing assets and their escort ships remain deployed and ready to intervene, together with France's partners.
