France no longer hostile nation? After Macron snubs Trump, Iran allows ship to pass Hormuz
A French-owned container ship, the Kribi, crossed the Strait of Hormuz, potentially signaling a shift in Iran's view of France following President Macron's criticism of US policy.
Macron rejected military intervention to reopen the strait, advocating for negotiations instead.
The vessel's change of destination to "Owner France" may have signaled its nationality to Iranian authorities.
