英国首相基尔·斯塔默和法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙将于周五召开霍尔木兹海峡未来峰会,两位领导人正推动一项由欧洲主导的计划,旨在战后无需美国领导即可重新开放这条至关重要的航运航道。

该提案设想在冲突结束后,由英国、法国和其他“非交战国”组成海上特派团,仅在战斗结束后部署。与唐纳德·特朗普总统目前用美国海军力量封锁伊朗港口的战略不同,英法倡议旨在脱离交战各方,专注于恢复商业航运。

一名资深欧洲官员坚称,该倡议并非要绕过华盛顿,他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,巴黎在冲突爆发“第一天”就开始讨论未来的海上任务,目前正与伦敦共同将这些计划正式化。

预计马克龙和斯塔默将主持一场峰会,推进两国政府所称的“协调、独立、多国家计划”,以便在战斗结束后重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。

“法国和英国还将于本周五在巴黎举办一场会议,通过视频会议召集愿意与我们共同参与的非交战国,组建一支多边且纯粹的防御性特派团,旨在在安全条件允许时恢复海峡的航行自由,”马克龙在X平台上写道。

据路透社报道,斯塔默同样将这项努力描述为“在冲突结束后保障国际航运的协调、独立、多国家计划”,称英国已经召集了40多个国家参与该倡议。华盛顿并未参与这些早期谈判。

这位欧洲高级官员表示,拟议的部队将“严格采取防御性行动”,仅在主动战斗和轰炸结束后部署,目标是恢复正常航运,而非在战时开辟通道。

“我们最终想要的是没有封锁、没有过路费、没有任何阻碍霍尔木兹海峡航运畅通的情况,”该官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,同时强调伊朗仍然是“首要问题”。

该官员还驳斥了有关巴黎和伦敦试图边缘化特朗普政府的说法,称美方已被告知相关情况,即使目前新兴特派团仅限“非交战国”参与,也与华盛顿进行了广泛协调。

“我们正在与他们进行大量协调,”该官员说,并补充说目标是建立一个可在冲突结束后运作的框架。

马克龙多次强调,法国设想的特派团将“严格采取防御性行动”,并排除在“轰炸”持续期间为船只护航的可能性。据路透社报道,法国外交部长让-诺埃尔·巴罗表示,“数十个国家”已经参与了由参谋长领导的预备讨论,未来任何特派团还需要与海湾沿海国家协调。

英法倡议出台之际,特朗普采取了更为激进的策略,在美伊停火谈判在巴基斯坦破裂后,下令美国海军封锁伊朗港口,并继续开展旨在保卫这条战略水道的行动。

批评者认为,没有美国的军事力量,欧洲的提议在很大程度上可能只是象征性的。

亨利·杰克逊学会分析师巴拉克·塞纳表示,英国和法国夸大了它们实际能够达成的目标。

“英国和法国作为所谓的国际事务‘中等强国’刷存在感,”塞纳告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

“基尔·斯塔默声称‘我们不会被拖入战争’,这掩盖了一个令人尴尬的事实:皇家海军正面临空心化危机,导致该倡议只能‘严格采取防御性行动’,”他说。

“法国海军也面临结构性和预算压力,削弱了其开展高强度行动的能力。”

“一个由‘非交战国’组成的欧洲联盟,仅愿意在敌对行动结束后才介入,竟然还能谈论保护其航道,这实在是可笑,”塞纳补充道。

“归根结底,美国部署航母打击群和战斗机等硬力量,封锁伊朗港口并清除霍尔木兹海峡的水雷,才能保护航道。”

Starmer and Macron accused of ‘playing at being relevant’ with Strait of Hormuz plan

As British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron convene a summit Friday on the future of the Strait of Hormuz, the two leaders are pushing a European-led plan to reopen the vital shipping lane after the war, without U.S. leadership.

The proposal envisions a post-conflict naval mission made up of Britain, France and other “non-belligerent” countries that would deploy only after fighting ends. Unlike President Donald Trump’s current strategy of blockading Iranian ports with U.S. naval power, the Anglo-French initiative is intended to be separate from the warring parties and focused on restoring commercial shipping.

A senior European official insisted the initiative is not meant to go around Washington, telling Fox News Digital that Paris began discussing a future maritime mission “from day one” of the conflict and is now formalizing those plans jointly with London.

Macron and Starmer are expected to host a summit to advance what both governments describe as a “coordinated, independent, multinational plan” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz once the fighting ends.

“France and the United Kingdom will also host a conference in Paris this Friday, bringing together by video conference non-belligerent countries ready to contribute, alongside us, to a multilateral and purely defensive mission aimed at restoring freedom of navigation in the strait when security conditions allow,” Macron wrote on X.

Starmer similarly described the effort as a “coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends,” saying Britain had already convened more than 40 nations around the initiative, Reuters reported. Washington was not part of those earlier talks.

The European senior official said the proposed force would be “strictly defensive” and would only deploy after active fighting and bombardment have ended, with the goal of restoring normal shipping rather than enforcing a wartime corridor.

“What we want in the end is no blockade, no toll, no nothing that blocks the fluidity of what is going through the Strait of Hormuz,” the official told Fox News Digital, while stressing that Iran remains “the first problem.”

The official also rejected suggestions that Paris and London are trying to sideline the Trump administration, saying the U.S. has been kept informed and that there is extensive coordination with Washington even if the emerging mission is currently limited to “non-belligerent” countries.

“We’re coordinating a lot with them,” the official said, adding that the goal is to create a framework that can operate once the conflict is over.

Macron has repeatedly emphasized that France’s envisioned mission would be “strictly defensive” and ruled out escorting ships while “bombings” are ongoing. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said “several dozen countries” already had participated in preparatory discussions led by military chiefs of staff, and that any future mission would also require coordination with Gulf coastal states, according to Reuters.

The Anglo-French initiative comes as Trump has taken a far more aggressive approach, ordering the U.S. Navy to blockade Iranian ports and continue operations aimed at securing the strategic waterway after ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Iran collapsed in Pakistan.

Critics argue that without American military power, the European proposal risks being largely symbolic.

Britain and France are overstating what they can realistically achieve, The Henry Jackson Society analyst Barak Seener said.

“Britain and France are playing at being relevant as so-called ‘Middle Powers’ in international affairs,” Seener told Fox News Digital.

“Keir Starmer’s assertion ‘We’re not getting dragged into the war’ disguises the embarrassing fact that the Royal Navy is facing a hollowed out crisis, causing the initiative to be ‘strictly defensive’,” he said.

“France’s navy is also facing structural and budgetary pressures that strain its ability to conduct high-tempo operations.”

“It is laughable that a European coalition of ‘non-belligerent’ countries that are only willing to engage once hostilities have ended can even speak of protecting its shipping lanes,” Seener added.

“Ultimately, the U.S.’s deployment of hard power, consisting of carrier strike groups and fighter aircraft to blockade Iranian ports and clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, can protect shipping lanes.”
