France and Britain propose naval mission to secure Strait of Hormuz after Iran war deal
By
John Leicester
Summary
U.S. allies, led by France and Britain, are proposing a naval mission to secure the Strait of Hormuz following an initial deal to end the Iran war. The plan involves removing explosive mines and potentially providing military escorts to reassure crews and shipping insurers about safe navigation. France's aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle, is already in the region. While allies push forward, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed limited interest in additional help, suggesting only a ship or two might be welcome. The allies have prior experience with similar escort missions in the Red Sea.
