Macron says the Europeans, with non-European allies, are organising a defensive mission to escort tankers and container ships through the Gulf of Hormuz.
Obviously doesn’t believe/trust Trump to do it….. hope he doesn’t expect the RN to have anything to add to the orbat.

President Macron:
“We are currently setting up a purely defensive escort mission to to gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
"It must be prepared with European and non-European states and is intended to enable, once the most intense phase of the conflict has passed, to escort container ships and oil tankers in order to gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which is essential for international trade, but also for the transport of gas and oil, which must be able to leave the region again."
