The reason I'm posting this here and overall context:
- France and Europe has been having a energy crisis for a while now.
- When Iran effectively closed the straight it substantially impacted Europe and Asia a lot more then America.
- As such Macron has been saying France might participate in military action in the straight to keep ships flowing
- This incident gives Macron a certain level of justification to participate.
- The probable cases of France participating wouldn't materially change anything beyond a NATO ally sending their soldier to their deaths for Trump's war.
- This really starts to muddy the waters as to Canada's role if Iran starts to directly threatening France.
Tldr: Macron is a moron. He should have withdrawn his soldier from a active war zone.
No one was injured in the first attack, after which Italy said it was temporarily withdrawing its military personnel from the base.
