France is seeking to ensure the security of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz by presenting a proposed draft. In this plan, all ships are required to adhere to the rights and freedoms of navigation, and countries can take necessary measures to ensure maritime security, including mine clearance, protection and defensive escort of ships, and guaranteeing their safe and coordinated passage.
Emphasis on Diplomatic Solutions

International Mission to Restore Shipping Traffic
Some diplomatic sources have reported that Paris, in coordination with the United States, is seeking to form an international mission to restore shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. This plan focuses on separating the security issues of Hormuz from broader tensions with Iran and also on maintaining the flow of energy transfer. The Strait of Hormuz, which was known before the war as a route for about one-fifth of the world's exchanged oil and gas, has now become one of the main focal points of pressure in regional developments.
France had previously attempted to pass a resolution regarding the freedom of navigation in Hormuz, but these efforts did not succeed due to a lack of support from Russia and China. It seems that France's recent action is a new step toward ensuring maritime security in this sensitive region.
