France is working on drafting a United Nations Security Council resolution supporting freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to protect vital global shipping routes and secure energy supplies and food security. The draft emphasizes the importance of respecting international law of the sea and promoting peaceful initiatives to ensure safe passage through the strait. It comes amid increasing tensions with Iran, which some countries accuse of obstructing navigation. French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed this proposal. The resolution seeks to separate the security of the strait from political tensions with Iran, focusing on maintaining freedom of navigation in the region. Iran announced its readiness to commit to its promises if Washington accepts Iran's proposal to open the strait, but the United States rejected the proposal for a ceasefire lasting seven days, amid expectations of potential conflicts before the upcoming U.S. midterm elections in November.
