French President Macron: The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is on its way to the Middle East.




Factcheck: Macron ordered the Charles de Gaulle (redirected from Baltic ops) to the eastern Mediterranean after an Iranian drone struck a French base hangar in UAE’s Abu Dhabi—no casualties, but it hit home.

France is protecting its bases/personnel there, backing Gulf allies hit by Iran’s retaliation, and deterring spillover. Independent move after their own defense council session; they criticized the US/Israel strikes on Iran but aren’t mourning the targets.
