France mulls new UN Security Council resolution on Hormuz, diplomats say
- On Tuesday, France began drafting a United Nations Security Council resolution with the United States to establish an international mission restoring commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Discussions between French President Emmanuel Macron and United States President Donald Trump on Monday at the UN General Assembly in New York catalyzed the diplomatic push forward.
- Diplomats said the resolution aims to separate the waterway's security from wider tensions with Iran, underscoring shared international interests in preserving freedom of navigation and energy access.
- Previous efforts failed to secure support from veto-wielding powers China and Russia, who expressed fears of bias against Tehran, creating significant diplomatic obstacles.
- Global oil price surges and potential threats to the Bab el-Mandeb corridor from Houthi rebels in Yemen have created urgency, fostering hope that compromise may succeed this time.
