France Commits to Protecting Shipping Lanes in Hormuz Without Using Force
(MENAFN) France will not engage in military action to forcibly reopen the Strait of Hormuz but is prepared to help safeguard key shipping lanes in accordance with international law, the country’s prime minister stated on Wednesday.
“France is not a party to the conflict; it will not participate in military operations to open the Strait of Hormuz by force; it will not allow itself to be drawn into a war that it did not choose,” Sebastien Lecornu said during a speech in the National Assembly addressing Middle East escalation.
Lecornu added that France is willing to assume responsibility for ensuring the safety of maritime routes, working alongside international partners and adhering to legal frameworks.
“We are facing a problem of energy costs, not a problem of access… We must do everything to ensure that this maritime traffic crisis does not become an energy crisis,” he said, highlighting the importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
Shipping through the strait, a critical corridor for global trade and energy supplies, has been significantly disrupted following US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and Tehran’s retaliatory attacks.
Lecornu further described the situation as a “war that is spreading, that is hitting civilian infrastructure, that threatens maritime security, and that is destabilizing an entire region for the long term.”
