France will not send warships to the Strait of Hormuz, according to the country's foreign ministry.
In a series of posts on X, the ministry's official Twitter account responded to the claims, saying "it's not true."
"No. The (French) aircraft carrier strike group remains in the Eastern Mediterranean," she said.
US President Donald Trump has made another call for countries to join forces in the fight against Iranian attempts to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Just hours after saying he hoped the United Kingdom, China and other countries would send warships, the US president said that countries "that get oil through the Strait of Hormuz should take care of that passage."
"The United States of America has defeated and completely destroyed Iran, militarily, economically and in every other way," Trump said.
He added that the US will assist and coordinate those countries so that "everything goes quickly, smoothly and well."
