French forces commander in the Indian Ocean: committed to supporting maritime security and ensuring global trade continues through the straits

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Admiral Yanick Bousso, commander of the French joint forces in the Indian Ocean, said commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz had collapsed sharply since late February and had partly recovered for now. He said the effects of the maritime disruption extended beyond the region to energy prices, insurance, food security and supply chains in Europe, Africa and elsewhere.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that links the Gulf with the Arabian Sea, and carries a large share of the world's seaborne oil trade.
