UK, France to co-host conference on Hormuz navigation mission
Britain and France will host 40 nations to discuss a strictly defensive naval mission as tensions threaten a key global oil route.
- France and Britain will co-host a summit this week with more than 40 nations to develop a coordinated, independent multinational plan safeguarding international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
- The Strait of Hormuz, carrying roughly 20% of global oil shipments, remains effectively shut by Iran, severely disrupting international shipping and intensifying cost-of-living pressures worldwide.
- Macron stated the proposed naval mission would be "strictly defensive," operating independently from warring parties and intended for deployment "as soon as the situation allows."
- Tensions escalated Monday as United States President Donald Trump announced a naval blockade of ships entering or exiting Iranian ports, beginning at 10:00 am Eastern Time.
- Beyond maritime navigation, discussions target lasting solutions addressing Iran's nuclear activities and ensuring Lebanon returns to peace, establishing a robust regional security framework.
