French President Emmanuel Macron affirmed on Monday that France considers it a 'defensive' mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and will send two frigates to the Red Sea. He stated that this decision aims to ensure freedom of navigation in the region. France has confirmed its commitment to stability in this strategically important area. This move is part of broader efforts to maintain the security of sea lanes. The French vessels will operate within the framework of international law.
