French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe would stand firmly with Cyprus as France deploys major naval forces to the region amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking in Cyprus, Macron said attacks on the island would be treated as attacks on Europe, highlighting defense partnerships and military solidarity among European allies.
France is sending multiple warships, including the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier strike group, to the eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea to support maritime security and protect key shipping routes.
