French Draft Resolution on Hormuz as Britain Warns of Iranian Regime’s Threat

France has put forward a draft resolution concerning the Strait of Hormuz, while Britain has warned of the “danger posed by the Iranian regime.”

The developments come alongside remarks by the US Treasury secretary, who said Washington had facilitated the passage of 1.1 billion barrels of oil through the strait.

The secretary also said Iran would have no oil moving by sea this week, describing it as the first such interruption since the country began exporting crude. That assessment was a US claim, rather than an independently confirmed halt in shipments.

Details of the French draft and the measures it proposes were not provided in the available summary. It also offered no further explanation of the British warning or the timeframe covered by the US oil-passage figure.
