France could strike from US air bases throughout the theatre. Aircraft carriers are the only bases that we have in the region that would not require permission from the host country, including Iraq.
Which country do you think will host France?

The De Gaulle is in the Gulf with our forces now, a bit of context that indicates France is pretty serious about this. Unlike Iraq, a nuclear Iran has missiles to threaten Europe with already. I think De Gaulle was deployed to our fleet before Sarkozy was even elected. I thought at the time it was a sign that Chirac was turning over control to Sarkozy.
