Gabriel Attal becomes France’s youngest prime minister | BBC News
Gabriel Attal has been named France’s next prime minister, as Emmanuel Macron aims to revive his presidency with a new government.
At 34, he is the youngest PM in modern French history, outranking even Socialist Laurent Fabius who was 37 when he was appointed by François Mitterrand in 1984.
Mr Attal replaces Élisabeth Borne, who resigned after 20 months in office.
Throughout that time she struggled with a lack of a majority in parliament.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

If you're not married by 34 you're too old. If you're prime minister, it's considered young.

I imagine there's a lot of tension between cultures in France, but Attal chooses to ban abayas.. yet a lot of comments seem to think he's 'very capable' 😐 to restrict people's expression of their beliefs doesn't seem like a sure way to relieve tension if you ask me

His claims of being gay makes him morally incompetent to lead a country and much less discharge duties being that he hasn't understood his true identity and would be prone to erroneous reasoning , engagement, abuse of office and purpose of humanity.

This peaked my interest until I heard he was a Macron loyalist who championed that ban on the abaya. So basically he's a younger, gayer Macron? Groundbreaking.

This individual partner, Stéphane Séjourné, works for the EU he has been serving as Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs- these people are building a Sodom and Gomorra type empire, staffing the political office with people of their own kind to influence the masses at all levels of life.
The world is indeed in the hands of the evil one!

I'm excited and can't wait to see how he would change France.. A young PM😎.. He'd adapt to the current generation Z pretty well. With a technology advancing world. I'm curious how he would bring about changes for his country. Personally i think it's very good that a young person gets to be PM in today's world

Correction: An abaya is a loose garment like a dress. Hijab is the head scarf Muslim women wear, but it also refers to modesty.
