France deploys military assets to Mediterranean amid war in the Mideast
French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday ordered a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean to help protect allied assets as war in the Middle East showed no signs of de-escalating. Macron also noted that France has defence agreements with several Gulf states as well as commitments to Jordan and Iraq.
