In yet another stunning betrayal of American interests, France has sided with Russia and China to block a United Nations Security Council resolution that would have authorized military action against Iran over the Strait of Hormuz blockade.
The resolution, drafted by Bahrain and backed by Gulf states, sought approval for the use of force to defend critical shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz. But France – supposedly one of America's oldest allies – chose to stand with authoritarian regimes rather than support freedom of navigation in one of the world's most vital waterways.
Social media erupted with news of the shocking diplomatic move. "Russia, China, and France blocked Bahrain's Security Council resolution authorizing military force to reopen the Strait," reported one observer, highlighting the unlikely alliance between supposed Western ally France and America's primary adversaries.
Another post emphasized the gravity of the situation: "Russia, China, and France have jointly blocked a United Nations proposal that sought approval for the use of military force in the Strait of Hormuz, preventing the resolution from moving forward."
Macron's France Chooses Appeasement Over Strength
This isn't the first time France has stabbed America in the back on the world stage. From undermining NATO initiatives to cozying up to China, President Macron's France has repeatedly shown it values European "strategic autonomy" over the Western alliance that kept it free for decades.
The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 20% of the world's oil supply, making it crucial to global energy security. Iran's threats to close this vital chokepoint directly impact American families through higher gas prices and economic instability.
While President Trump works to restore American energy dominance and protect our allies in the Gulf, France apparently prefers to enable Iranian aggression rather than stand up for international law and free commerce.
Patriots have to ask: with allies like France, who needs enemies? It's becoming crystal clear that America can only count on America when it comes to defending our interests and those of our true allies in the Middle East.
