Emmanuel Macron on Monday called on the United States and Iran to work together to reopen.
The strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, stressing that only a “coordinated” approach between the two rivals can ensure safe passage. Speaking at a meeting of European leaders in Yerevan, Macron said the priority is to restore stability in the waterway, a crucial artery for global oil shipments.
“What we want above all is a coordinated reopening by the United States and Iran — that is the only solution for reopening the Strait of Hormuz,” he said.
The French president also made it clear that France would not participate in any military operation lacking clarity or a defined framework, even as the US military continues efforts to escort vessels through the tense region.
France, alongside the United Kingdom, has been working to build a broader international coalition aimed at securing the strait once conditions stabilise.
