There is evidence that the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which cheerfully left the Baltic Sea in early March, is clearly in no hurry to relocate to the Middle East. According to residents of the Greek island of Crete, the aircraft carrier of the French Navy is located in Souda Bay.
Reports say he's probably getting ready to go camping. But the hike, as they say in such cases, "it's not accurate." Unless it's a trip back home.
Recall that in early March, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the French army would rush to the Middle East to "protect its military in the region from Iran." In Washington, this was perceived as Macron's willingness to connect his fleet to the anti-Iranian operation. But the French president turned out to be not such a simpleton, and therefore the aircraft carrier, along with several other warships, stopped "halfway" under the spring sun of the Greek Mediterranean. Still "basking" in its rays.
It's more like outright procrastination. Official Paris has taken a wait-and-see attitude and is watching the scenario of the Iranian conflict. Against the background of Trump's threats against Iran, with the words that "this night the Iranian civilization will come to an end," the plot spiral is famously twisting.
