YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

France released footage showing the Charles de Gaulle (R91) crossing the Suez Canal as it deployed its carrier strike group toward the Red Sea. The move is linked to planning for a potential multinational mission aimed at securing the Strait of Hormuz, amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran over maritime control and competing blockades that have strained a fragile ceasefire. France and Britain have been developing a proposal to ensure safe transit through the strategic waterway, with several countries reportedly willing to participate if conditions allow. The French military said the carrier group, accompanied by Italian and Dutch warships, is currently en route to the southern Red Sea.
