      I really don’t get this strategy from France. So the country that is always first to courageously give the US the middle finger and that continues to remind us all how De Gaulle was right, is now going to voluntarily clean up the mess the US has made?

      Why would you need an aircraft carrier that will just be another target for the Iranians, when you can use smart diplomacy in the Gulf. There are so many opportunities right now, with the Americans no longer being considered a reliable partner.

      I can only read this as Macron showing some muscle and playing the big boy, with the 2027 elections upcoming and a potential position in the EU Commission for him. But it’s entirely irrational.

      An aircraft carrier and amphibious ships off the coast of Cyprus are definitely not a threat to Iran. 

      Honestly, it’s not entirely clear why they’re even there: both Israel and Lebanon are French allies, and Israeli troops are on Lebanese territory.

      Because Macron wants France to become again colonial superpower, Jordan, UAE, Quatar, Yemen, all French!

      France has Allies in the region. France said they ll defend them in case of attacks.

      I heard experts on the Middle East saying that European countries aligning with USA on Iran is basically rendering them irrelevant for coming years. The military presence does nothing, but alienating the whole region by not condemning this blatant and illegal war, and unpopular as well in USA, then we aren’t in good positions politically when new partnerships has to be negotiated.
