Macron Keeps Minehunters in Hormuz as Carrier Heads Home

President Emmanuel Macron said France has deployed minehunters to the Middle East and will send the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier back to France. Macron's post says two minehunters, two frigates and a maritime patrol aircraft remain ready to help restore full navigation and traffic safety in the Strait of Hormuz after the June 17 U.S.-Iran memorandum. GOV.UK confirms the UK-France-Oman framework for safe transit and a wider multinational mission. For Israel, the operational test is whether allied ships deny Iran veto power over a global chokepoint while nuclear and proxy pressure stays constrained.
