French President Macron announced that mission details will be established at a conference in London next week, emphasizing a neutral stance that distinguishes the mission from the warring parties. German Chancellor Merz highlighted the necessity of a secure legal framework and government approval for participation, advocating for US involvement in military support, which Macron opposes. The mission follows Iran’s announcement to reopen the Strait, which has been critical for global oil transport, and comes amid a ten-day ceasefire in Lebanon. UN Secretary-General Guterres welcomed the reopening while calling for the restoration of international shipping rights.
