All defensive means can mean anything. Like a military escort that would shoot back at Iran in case of an attack, which amounts to further escalation.

Not arguing about what that can mean; all I'm saying is that France and Iran exchanged favours.
I wouldn't call non escalation a favour. It should be standard practice.
I wouldn't call "letting a tanker pass in international waters without blowing it up" a favour either.
