Macron seeks Iran cooperation on Hormuz

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced he is seeking cooperation with Iran to resolve the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. Macron stated France is doing its utmost to ensure shipping in the vital waterway returns to normal and that he will resume his engagement with Iranian officials on this matter. This marks a significant diplomatic overture from a major European power, separate from the ongoing US-led negotiations. The move adds another layer to the complex international efforts to reopen the strait and secure global energy supplies.
