France Drafts UN Hormuz Mission as Trump Renews Iran Threat

France began drafting a U.N. Security Council resolution with the United States for an international mission to restore commercial movement through the Strait of Hormuz, diplomats told Reuters. The proposed framework would protect shipping without adopting an offensive posture toward Iran, but no circulation timetable was given and earlier efforts failed over Chinese and Russian concerns. President Donald Trump later told the U.N. that the United States could annihilate Iran without a peace deal while also saying he expects an agreement after the November 3 midterm elections.
