France's president on Monday said that a military mission set up by Paris and Britain to help with Strait of Hormuz traffic was ready to deploy, following the announcement of an US-Iran deal to end the war in the Middle East, including in Lebanon. Israel insists it is not bound by the deal.
President Emmanuel Macron's comments came after Washington and Tehran said they reached an agreement to end the war that the US and Israel launched on Iran in February, with a deal to be signed on Friday in Switzerland.
