Emmanuel Macron, President of France, announced at a press conference in Nairobi that the issue of deploying French or joint forces with Britain in the Strait of Hormuz has never been on the table, but France is ready to ensure freedom of navigation. He stated that the French aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle" and its accompanying frigates were moved from the eastern Mediterranean to the other side of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
