PARIS, France, Mar 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday he has "no confirmation" that Iran is using sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

"I have no confirmation of this, either from partner services or from our own services," Macron said, after the United States said it had destroyed Iranian mine-laying boats near the strategic waterway through which one-fifth of the world's oil passes.
