The Strait of Hormuz has been declared officially reopened to commercial shipping by Iran and confirmed by Trump, but underlying tensions persist. France and the UK have launched an independent joint naval mission outside NATO framework after Trump explicitly rejected NATO involvement in securing the strait. Maritime companies and insurers remain cautious despite the official reopening, and a fundamental divergence exists between Iran's claim of full sovereignty over the reopening and Western interpretations attributing it to American pressure. This development reveals a deeper fracture: Trump's rejection of NATO for this mission forces Europe to build independent naval capacity, marking a potential shift in the global security architecture surrounding critical maritime routes.
