French President Emmanuel Macron announced that about 15 countries are working together to resume traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, where a fifth of the world’s oil supply flows, following a ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
He mentioned that these countries are mobilized and planning a defensive mission coordinated with Iran to enable this resumption.
Macron expressed support for the ceasefire but emphasized the critical situation in Lebanon, urging that Lebanon be included in the agreement.
He noted France’s close ties to Lebanon, a former protectorate, and stated his desire for assurance that the ceasefire covers Lebanon completely.
