US EditionMore than 15 countries planning to facilitate Strait of Hormuz access, Macron says
Macron said about 15 countries are mobilized under France’s leadership to reopen the waterway that carries a fifth of global oil supplies.
- On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that about 15 countries are mobilizing to facilitate traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following the ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
- These nations are participating in a "strictly defensive mission" led by France in coordination with Iran, Macron said at an Elysee Palace defense meeting.
- A fifth of the world's oil supply usually flows through the Strait, which has been effectively closed since the United States and Israel attacked Iran in February.
- Alongside the geopolitical developments, Macron addressed the return of Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, two French nationals released by Iran after three and a half years in detention.
- France seeks assurance that "our wish in this context is to be assured that the ceasefire fully includes Lebanon," as more than 1500 people have died there since Iran-linked Hezbollah launched attacks.
