Shafaq News- Tehran

Any French or British military deployment in theStrait of Hormuz under the pretext of protecting maritime navigation wouldamount to the “militarization” of the strategic waterway and could provoke aresponse from Tehran, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi warnedon Sunday.

    Quoted by state television, Gharibabadi argued thatmaritime security cannot be achieved through “military displays of force,”particularly by parties “that are themselves part of the problem.” He alsodescribed the Strait of Hormuz as a sensitive regional waterway rather than“common property for powers from outside the region.”

    French President Emmanuel Macron, however, clarifiedduring a press conference in Nairobi that Paris had “never considered” sendingwarships into the strait, instead backing a maritime security arrangement“coordinated with Iran.”
