The proposal comes amid an escalating US-Iran conflict and mounting disruption to one of the world’s most important energy and shipping routes. Reports indicate the waterway would remain closed until Iran’s conditions are met, while attacks in and around the Gulf have intensified concerns about commercial shipping, oil supplies and regional expansion of the war. France is also considering a UN Security Council resolution and an international mission to help restore maritime movement. The situation remains fluid, with significant implications for global energy prices and international security.
