French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle will 'soon arrive' near Strait of Hormuz, minister says

France’s aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is expected to soon arrive near the Strait of Hormuz, adding to regional military tensions. Following the US and Israel’s strikes against Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was closed, and subsequent peace talks failed to produce a lasting agreement. The US has recently enforced a naval blockade in the strait.
