Macron ties Iran aid to a written ceasefire, eyes French carrier for Hormuz mission
TL;DR
France’s Macron says he’ll back Trump on Iran only after the ceasefire deal is confirmed in writing. The MOU text hasn’t been released to G7 leaders, and Paris would deploy the Charles de Gaulle and allied ships to help demine the Strait of Hormuz within 2–3 days of confirmation, as part of a broader maritime effort with the UK and others; details and timing remain unclear as officials prepare to publish the full terms.
