France and the United Kingdom have expressed readiness to restore security to regional waterways and facilitate the rapid resumption of commercial shipping following the announcement of an agreement between Washington and Tehran.

French Support for the U.S.-Iran Agreement

French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the agreement between Iran and the United States, calling on all parties to swiftly implement its terms. He emphasized that this step must lead to the immediate and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic.

Role of the International Maritime Mission

The French President noted that the international maritime mission jointly established by France and the United Kingdom is fully prepared to take part in reopening and securing the Strait of Hormuz. The mission is expected to act as a supporting force aimed at reassuring commercial operators about the safety of maritime routes.

Global Economic Stability Concerns

According to Emmanuel Macron, the normalization of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions is not only a regional issue but also a decisive factor in maintaining global economic stability.

Mandate and Launch of the Maritime Mission

In April, France and the United Kingdom announced the creation of an international mission to protect trade routes in the Strait of Hormuz. The mission has a strictly peaceful and defensive mandate and is expected to begin operations as regional hostilities come to an end, focusing on maritime security.
