What is Europe's plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz?
France and the UK are leading efforts to establish a strictly defensive multinational naval mission to safeguard commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, with military planners from 30 countries convening in London to discuss operational details. The mission, set to deploy only after a negotiated end to US-Iran hostilities, will likely rely heavily on the European Three (Germany, France, UK), though it faces challenges including stretched European naval capacity due to Russia-related tensions, operational risks from drone and missile attacks, and uncertainty about coalition support; analysts emphasize lasting stability will require a diplomatic settlement with Iran.
