Macron warns Iran against imposing Hormuz tolls

Macron warns Iran against imposing Hormuz tolls French President Emmanuel Macron warned Iran against imposing tolls on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, saying "everything" should be done so fees are not charged for passage through the key bottleneck. "We defend international law, and we will do everything in our power to ensure there is no toll," Macron told TF1 television on Monday ahead of the G7 summit in France . Macron said a joint France-UK mission to ensure the Strait opens was prepared to deploy "very quickly", with the French flagship aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle ready to be in the zone "on a timescale of two to three days".
