French President Emmanuel Macron announced Monday evening that France, together with Oman and additional partners, has decided to cooperate on clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz. The statement, conveyed via N12 on his behalf, comes as part of a broader diplomatic push to reopen the strategic waterway following recent tensions. As The Zioneer has previously reported, a US official indicated earlier this month that a Britain-France-led coalition was preparing for mine clearance in the strait after its reopening. The exact timeline and scope of the operation remain unspecified.
