French President Emmanuel Macron declared on Tuesday that France will never participate in operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, thus contradicting the statements of American President Donald Trump, who suggested that Paris would be willing to offer support in this strategic area for oil transport.

Macron emphasized that France is not a party to the conflict and that it will focus on forming an international coalition to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz, but without the involvement of the USA. He also mentioned that France is prepared to take responsibility for an escort system once the security situation stabilizes.
