France has deployed its nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle, to the eastern Mediterranean amid escalating tensions due to the Iran war. President Emmanuel Macron announced this decision, redirecting the carrier from North Atlantic operations. The vessel, equipped with advanced fighter jets and air defense systems, is expected to take about 10 days to reach its destination. The deployment comes in response to Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz, with additional air defense units sent to Cyprus.
