French President Emmanuel Macron has said that using military force to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not a practical solution. He made it clear that such an approach could create more problems instead of solving them.

Speaking to reporters during a visit to South Korea, Macron addressed growing discussions about securing the key shipping route. He noted that some countries have suggested reopening the strait through military action.

However, Macron said this idea is not realistic and has never been supported by France. He stressed that such an operation would be extremely difficult and time-consuming.

He warned that any military action in the area could expose ships and forces to serious threats. These risks include possible attacks from regional forces as well as missile strikes.

Macron also pointed out that the situation could become more dangerous for global trade if tensions continue to rise. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important routes for oil shipments.

His comments come at a time when global powers are debating how to respond to disruptions in the region. The issue has raised concerns about energy supplies and rising tensions in international waters.
