A French-owned container ship operated by CMA CGM has successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz while under the protection of a French naval escort. The transit occurred amidst heightened regional tensions that have increasingly threatened international shipping lanes. By deploying military assets to accompany commercial vessels, France aims to ensure the security of trade routes and uphold the principle of freedom of navigation in this strategic maritime corridor, which remains vital for global commerce and energy supplies.
- A CMA CGM container ship completed a transit through the Strait of Hormuz under military protection.

YOU started attacking Iran, Now they are attacking back, That is Natural
Stop attacking Iran. Simple as that
Paid for it to sail through?
Europe should get some delayed courage and confront the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism
France being smart cut a deal with Iran
In the news at the beginning of the conflict was info that US start to sell their own special insurance to ships that plan to pass straight, if toll less than US insurance that great idea.
Even a nominal fee would be a boon to both France and Iran, and a middle finger to the US.
Fair…
Macron grovels well
2 million USD per ship is a bargain
Pass the cost to the consumers
Then charge Trump the $2 million for import and export charges and for use of military bases
How much did he pay 😅 to Iran.
Iran has every right to charge…Egypt does..
Fees for the Suez Canal are highly variable, often costing
over US$700,000 for large container ships or oil tankers
Don't open for England,US ,Canada,Israhell , Australia, Newzealand, Germany….
If a toll must be paid to Iran, oil prices will rise. It would be far better if all the nations heavily dependent on this route were to come together and dedicate their efforts—whether politically or militarily—to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
Trump, this is the world you created. Is America great now?
Uganda 🇺🇬 is with iran
Greetings from Leuven🇧🇪🤕
Container ship ? Hurray ! But no oil or gas . Boooh . What I know they dont really much export oil or gas in standard containers. Its probably a ship with cheap chinese Aliexpress junk heading to EU because China ´s been a bit harsh to the Iranian ambassador in Bejing LOL. It aint over, until its over
(Shadowed Banned) When You Pay the Tool You can Pass……
Irania blockade was just a bluff, as I have always suspected. …
😂😂😂 UK AND GERMANY ARE GOING TO BE THE ONLY ONES LEFT THAT'S F*****😂😂😂
that toll is not going to be in place forever though, at least not uniquely as an Iranian toll. For the simple reason that the nations on the other side of the strait will not accept losing their thoroughfares forever to Iran. National sovereignity and all that jazz.
Totally predictable. European countries are looking to cut side deals to get their oil out. Although a part of NATO, France closed off its airspace to US combat aircraft. And they have not based any US forces since the late 60s. It maintains a separate command structure from the rest of NATO.
Just a lucky chance! Next time will be blown to pieces
Uncle Albert…..FOLLOW THAT BOAT! ⛴️ 🎉
Because France paid
who insured the ship? if it was lyods, does it make it shadow ship
France openly supports the mullahs, so why not?
The french: Pwetty pwease let us get oil mr habibi terrorist
The French surrendering to terrorists is on point for them
France is now officially funding the IRGC.
… excellent analysis …
This guy calling saudi iran-friendly?
