War makes Hormuz security unlikely, Larijani says after Macron remarks
Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani said security in the Strait of Hormuz was unlikely while war continues, responding to French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks about reopening the waterway.
“It is unlikely that any security will be achieved in the Strait of Hormuz amid the fires of war ignited by the United States and Israel in the region, especially if it is designed by parties that were not far from supporting this war and contributing to fueling it,” Larijani said in a post on X.
His remarks came after Macron said France was preparing a defensive mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and would send two frigates to the Red Sea.
