France’s Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot has confirmed that 52 French ships are currently stranded in the Persian Gulf due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In an interview with French media outlet C-News/Europe-1, Tabarot stated that an additional eight French vessels are located in the Red Sea. He added that authorities are maintaining constant communication with the crews, as several French sailors are onboard these ships.
The disruption follows a series of military strikes in the region. The United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran last Saturday, prompting retaliatory strikes by Iran on Israeli targets and U.S. bases across several Middle Eastern countries. As a result, maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil and gas shipments, has been severely restricted. Approximately 20 percent of the world’s energy supply typically passes through this corridor.
The situation has raised concerns about the safety of maritime operations and the potential impact on global energy transport, though no resolution has yet been reported.
