France readies UN resolution on Hormuz as vote on US text stalls
- On Friday, France drafted a United Nations Security Council resolution to establish an international mission restoring movement in the Strait of Hormuz, creating an alternative as Washington struggles to secure a vote for its own text.
- A US-Bahraini resolution on the Strait has faced repeated delays for more than two weeks, with China and Russia signaling they could veto the text, which they argue is biased against Tehran.
- Washington secured nearly 140 countries to co-sponsor its text, hoping to avoid an April repeat when Russia and China vetoed a similar US-backed draft arguing it unfairly targeted Iran.
- France's Foreign Ministry spokesman Pascal Confavreux said the country is consulting with Washington and Tehran, noting, "We have also prepared, as a permanent member, a draft resolution that could be discussed if the conditions are right."
- Control of the narrow waterway remains a major obstacle in talks to end the three-month-old US-Iran war, as the US previously launched military strikes outside the United Nations framework.
