France and the U.K. have welcomed the announcement by Iran and the U.S. that the Strait of Hormuz is open. However, they stressed that freedom of navigation must be permanently restored. President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Keir Starmer are planning an international mission to ensure maritime security. Military planners will meet in London next week. Starmer emphasized the need for a lasting solution at the Paris meeting aiming to ease the impact of the Iran conflict. The U.S. is not part of the planned mission.
