Iran: Macron responds to Tehran: ‘No deployment in Hormuz, but a security mission’

Dubai (United Arab Emirates), 10 May (LaPresse/AP) – French President Emmanuel Macron has responded to the warning issued by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, who had cautioned against the Franco-British initiative aimed at supporting maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz once hostilities have ceased. Gharibabadi, in a post on X, stated that the deployment of warships in the Hormuz area would face an immediate response from the Iranian armed forces. Macron responded by stating that this would not be a military deployment, but an international mission aimed at ensuring the safety of navigation as soon as conditions permit.
