French Commandant Thomas Scalabre points towards the positions of ships on the Strait of Hormuz on a screen at the MICA center (Maritime Information and Cooperation and Awareness) in Brest, western France on April 27, 2026. Attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, piracy off the coast of Somalia, drug trafficking: with their eyes fixed on screens crammed with maps, a dozen sailors at the MICA Centre monitor the world's maritime hotspots in real time. Since the start of the war in the Middle East, triggered by Israeli-American strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, this French centre of expertise in maritime security, attached to the French Navy, has been providing invaluable support to civilian vessels and crews stranded in the Persian Gulf.
