President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday France would never take part in operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, pushing back on comments by Donald Trump that Paris was willing to help.
“We are not party to the conflict and therefore France will never take part in operations to open or liberate the Strait of Hormuz in the current context,” Macron said at the start of a cabinet meeting to discuss the conflicts in the Middle East.
France has been pushing on with its own efforts to put together a coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz once the security situation stabilises and without a U.S. role, French officials have said.
Why don’t France want to go to war with a random country for lols? Are they COWARDS?!
Iran has historically been a friendly trade partner with France.
By contrast, its straight up open season on any country in North Africa. Macron practically lead the charge when it came time to carpet bomb Libya. And he was all on board in the overthrow of the Syrian government.
High school logic, used by some world leaders.
