France’s Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier strike group is moving into the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden as Paris and the United Kingdom prepare for a potential mission to safeguard shipping routes near the Strait of Hormuz.⁣
⁣
France’s armed forces said the group crossed the Suez Canal on Wednesday, after being deployed to the eastern Mediterranean following US and Israeli strikes on Iran.⁣
⁣
France and Britain are leading plans for an international mission to protect freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint through which nearly a fifth of the world’s oil passes and where shipping has been heavily disrupted by the conflict.⁣
