Brief

@Michael7ucci claims France will lead a European coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz — deliberately after U.S. operations — and that the Europeans will exclude the U.S., seek Iran's permission, and convene only via Zoom. The post cites a WSJ exclusive (Apr 14, 2026) about a U.K.–French postwar plan to free shipping in Hormuz without U.S. involvement.

Why it matters

@Michael7ucci (posted 2026-04-14 21:39:12+00:00) asserts France will lead a European coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz only after the U.S. has secured it, and that Europeans will deliberately exclude the U.S. from that mission.

Key details

  • The post cites a Wall Street Journal exclusive (Apr 14, 2026) reporting a U.K.–French draft plan for a postwar mission to free up shipping in the Strait of Hormuz without U.S. involvement; the author adds that Europe will 'ask permission from Iran', mockingly calls it 'Peak Macron', and notes they'll 'hold a Zoom meeting.'
Source evidence

Peak Macron.

France will lead a European coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz...after the U.S. has secured the Strait of Hormuz.

They won't invite the U.S. to the party. They will ask permission from Iran.

For now, they will hold a Zoom meeting.
