French President Emmanuel Macron warned that the conflict between Iran and Israel directly impacts Europe, particularly through threatened energy routes in the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, making Middle Eastern stability essential for the world economy. European Union leaders will meet Friday with representatives from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria to coordinate approaches for ensuring regional security. The summit reflects growing European concern about how Middle Eastern conflicts could disrupt energy supplies and broader economic stability across the continent.
