France and the United Kingdom are working with Oman to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran rejected an international naval mission. French President Emmanuel Macron described the developments following talks with the Sultan of Oman as favorable. Le Monde ↗
The initiative comes amid tensions surrounding one of the most important shipping routes for global energy trade. According to available information, Iran perceives international participation in mine-clearing and security operations as a provocation. Paris and London are therefore seeking a solution through cooperation with Oman, which holds an important mediating position in the region. novinky.cz ↗
Macron also announced that the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is returning to its home port in Toulon. The Élysée Palace linked this to favorable developments following an agreement between Tehran and Washington to halt hostile actions. However, French mine-clearing capabilities and their escort are to remain deployed and ready to intervene alongside partners. Le Figaro ↗
In France, alongside the crisis in the Middle East, a debate is also emerging over who will succeed Macron. As many as 46 candidates are already interested in the presidential office, including favorites as well as lesser-known names. In the European context, a statement by ECB chief Christine Lagarde is also resonating — she did not rule out an early departure before the end of her term in October 2027, should the turbulent situation in the global economy calm down.
