France Drafts UN Hormuz Mission Plan as US Text Faces Resistance
🇫🇷 PARIS — France writes its own Hormuz plan because Washington's text can't pass. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: A French-authored UN text signals Paris believes the US resolution is dead — likely vetoed by China or Russia. Competing drafts give abstainers cover and fragment Security Council unity Washington needs. For Tehran, a rival text buys time. For Rome and Berlin, it's a multilateral off-ramp from bilateral US pressure. Watch whether France coordinates with the UK.
