Macron says France 'never envisaged' sending warships into Strait of Hormuz

President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday said that France had "never envisaged" a naval deployment in the Strait of Hormuz but rather a security mission that would be "coordinated with Iran."

At a news conference in Nairobi, Macron said he was sticking to his position after Iran warned of a "decisive and immediate response" to any French or British deployments in the strategic waterway.
