France drafts UN resolution on Strait_of_Hormuz

France has drafted a UN Security Council resolution to establish an international mission to restore movement in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global energy trade. This initiative comes as the United States struggles to bring its own resolution, co-sponsored with Bahrain, to a vote due to potential vetoes from Russia and China, who view it as biased against Iran. The Strait of Hormuz's virtual closure has led to spiraling oil prices, making its control a major obstacle in ending the three-month-old US-Iran war. France's President Emmanuel Macron has indicated that Paris will push this initiative at the United_Nations to restore freedom of navigation.
