France Conditions Hormuz Security Role on Ceasefire; Six European Nations Ready to Guarantee Shipping Post-Hostilities

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure stated France is 'willing to do something to free the Strait of Hormuz, provided that this is not a war situation anymore.' Six European countries including France declared readiness to guarantee Hormuz security, but only after a ceasefire. The conditional posture contrasts with the 22-nation statement demanding the strait reopen and exposes a gap between diplomatic alignment and operational commitment that limits Trump's burden-sharing strategy.
