President Macron announces a mission led by France and the UK with 50 countries and international organizations, with the objective to ensure safe navigation and the resumption of maritime traffic through the strategic waterway of the Strait of Hormuz, which France had not previously planned to deploy for a naval blockade against Iran but rather a security mission.
