Allied navies push for joint escort mission in Strait of Hormuz
TL;DR
France, Britain and other partners are proposing a multinational naval escort and demine mission to secure the Strait of Hormuz, drawing on prior escort experiences in the Red Sea; the plan would involve a broad coalition to protect shipping amid tensions with Iran, with the duration and scope depending on ceasefire stability and regional conditions; experts caution that such a mission could reassure shipping and signal European resolve, but may not solve broader regional tensions.
