French army considers oil port security
French Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Fabien Mandon stated that France and Saudi Arabia are currently exploring options that include deploying French military assets to protect the Yanbu oil port, which has suffered attacks and is one of the most important facilities for oil trade in the region. He explained that France has positioned around two thousand soldiers in the area to support its Gulf allies, including Qatar and Kuwait, amid escalating military tensions and threats facing oil installations. The cooperation aims to secure a vital energy target following an increase in attacks, particularly after assaults on Saudi oil facilities, as part of France and Saudi Arabia's efforts to strengthen the security of strategic infrastructure in the region.
