French President Emmanuel Macron said the agreement with Iran is vital for the global economy and for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to reports from his remarks Monday evening.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday evening publicly reaffirmed his support for the emerging US-Iran agreement, stating it is 'very important for the global economy and for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.' The remarks come hours after President Donald Trump confirmed the deal is fully signed and the strait is to reopen on Friday. Macron's statement aligns with the earlier joint E4 declaration — which France co-signed — welcoming the memorandum of understanding and urging a rapid reopening of the waterway. The French president has also separately pledged continued support for Lebanese sovereignty. The timing of the statement and any additional diplomatic steps remain undeclared.
