France and Britain Ready to Secure Hormuz Strait

France and Britain, backed by the Netherlands and Italy, plan to lead a mission to reopen the Hormuz Strait amid U.S.-Iran talks. President Macron states deployment could occur in days and tolls would breach international law.

France and Britain are set to spearhead a mission in the Hormuz Strait, with support from the Netherlands and Italy, as announced by French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.
