The French president called for the United States and Iran to de-escalate amid increased tensions over the weekend over the Strait of Hormuz.
– “Our position remains the same. We need to settle things through diplomacy. Everyone must calm down”, Emmanuel Macron said during a joint press conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
– Macron also said that France was not specifically targeted in the strait after Iran fired shots on ships on Saturday, including a container ship belonging to French shipping giant CMA CGM, which described the volleys as “warning shots” and said at the time that the crew was safe.
