France’s President Emmanuel Macron has ordered an 'unprecedented' naval deployment in the Middle East to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
France will deploy eight frigates, along with two amphibious helicopter carriers and the country’s flagship Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says this comes as the UK has appeared to have paused sending a warship to Cyprus.
