Macron orders fuel supply security as France pushes Hormuz reopening talks

French President Macron has directed the government to secure fuel supplies amid rising prices, while the government spokesperson confirms Macron is in regular talks with US and Iranian counterparts to pursue a 'peaceful reopening' of the Strait of Hormuz. The situation implies heightened supply risk from a potential or ongoing closure, though the exact status of the strait and the nature of the talks remain unclear. This matters because any disruption to Hormuz would directly impact global oil flows and energy prices.
