French Ship Hit by ‘Projectile’ in Strait of Hormuz,
President Macron Insists France ‘In No Way’ Under Attack
French Ship Hit by 'Projectile' in Strait, Macron Insists Not Under Attack
A French-owned container ship was "struck by an unknown projectile" in the Strait of Hormuz overnight, injuring crew members.
A French-owned container ship was “struck by an unknown projectile” in the Strait of Hormuz overnight, causing damage to the vessel and injuring crew members, the owner has confirmed.
Britain’s Royal Navy-run UKMTO maritime security service logged the incident on Tuesday night, stating they had “received a report of an incident within the Strait of Hormuz. A verified source reported a cargo vessel has been struck by an unknown projectile.”. CMA CGM confirmed their ship had been involved on Wednesday morning.
The ship was last seen by ground-based transponder trackers off Dubai on Tuesday morning, implying the ship attempted, as others have already succeeded in doing, to run the gauntlet of the Strait while ‘dark’ and not advertising its location. In an earlier case, a CMA CGM ship successfully transited the Strait by using its AIS transponder to broadcast the message “OWNER FRANCE” as a means of avoiding the attention of the IRGC.

Indeed, France’s President Emmanuel Macron has gone to great lengths to stress that his nation is not a party to the conflict since it began, refusing to give aid to his NATO ally the United States, and personally reaching out to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian this week.

He said on Wednesday morning: “France was in no way the target”, reports Le Figaro.
Commentary:
I think we are protecting the historic relics of western civilization, many of which are located in France. Sadly, the French seem largely indifferent to their loss.
The attack was mostly peaceful!
France should change the Tricolor to a white flag of surrender. Macron knows that he has created a Frankenstein Monster by welcoming all those Muslims.
Islam has conquered France.
