“Opening the Strait of Hormuz by force is impossible.”

The French President, Emmanuel Macron, said on Tuesday at a press conference that using force to pass through the Strait of Hormuz is not in line with reality. He emphasized that France adheres to peaceful options and seeks to prevent further escalation of tensions in the region. Macron stated that any military action through the Strait of Hormuz could face potential threats from Iran’s ballistic missiles and, therefore, using military routes is dangerous and impractical. The French President urged the countries of the world to seek diplomatic solutions to resolve the issues.
