According to CoinMeta, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian stated on the 10th that the risk of an escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran “has not been completely ruled out.” After attending a G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris, Le Drian said in a media interview that France supports the efforts made by all parties to ease the situation, particularly the efforts of regional countries to restore traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and to resolve the issue through political means in order to avoid another military conflict. British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt also stated on the same day that the UK advocates for “comprehensive diplomatic efforts” to end the conflict with Iran and to break the current deadlock of “no war, no peace” between the two countries, in order to prevent damage to the economies of various nations. He also emphasized the need to “prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power” and to “ensure that the Strait of Hormuz is truly reopened.”
