#hormuz-strait

The U.S. would exert a military blockade on ships going through the Hormuz Strait following the failure of mediation to end the current war, prices experienced a hike, as the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent benchmarks registered a 10% rise at market open.

We are not a 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. However, we are convinced that once the situation becomes calmer... we are ready, alongside other nations, to take responsibility for an escort system.
