France and U.S. draft UN resolution for Strait of Hormuz navigation
France and the United States are coordinating a new draft resolution for the United Nations Security Council aimed at establishing an international mission to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The initiative seeks to protect global energy supplies and maritime trade by treating waterway security as a distinct issue from broader geopolitical tensions with Iran.
During the UN General Assembly in New York, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot met with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar to advocate for cooperation in securing the strait and the Bab al-Mandeb, describing them as vital to the stability of Europe and Asia.
This diplomatic push follows a failed attempt in April, when Russia and China vetoed a similar resolution submitted by Bahrain. Current maritime traffic in the strait has reached historically low levels, while Brent crude oil prices have fluctuated between $100 and $107 per barrel due to regional instability.
