February 26, 2015 by Amre Sarhan



(IraqiNews.com) France has deployed its most prestigious aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, as part of the U.S.-led military campaign against the ISIS group militants, French government officials said.

The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier has entered the Gulf as part of the U.S.-led military campaign against the ISIS group militants in Iraq and Syria.

“We’re are all in this together and having the Charles De Gaulle Strike Group in the region gives the coalition more options to help defeat this common threat,” U.S. 5th Fleet spokesman Lt. Joe Hontz said in a statement.
