France's foreign minister said on the 10th after a G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris that the risk of escalation between the United States and Iran "was not completely ruled out." He said France supports efforts to de‑escalate, backing regional initiatives to restore navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and favouring a political solution to avoid renewed military conflict. UK foreign secretary Miliband said the UK advocates a "comprehensive diplomatic effort" to end hostilities with Iran, urged breaking the current US‑Iran stalemate of neither war nor peace because of its economic harm, and called to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state and to ensure the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened.
