EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced that the agreement between the United States and Iran will be a primary discussion point for EU foreign ministers. She stated that the Union is in contact with Iranian, Gulf, and American counterparts, offering expertise in nuclear negotiations to facilitate the process.<\/p>\n
Kallas noted that the EU is hopeful about the preliminary deal and views the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of the conflict as essential goals. European Council President Antonio Costa welcomed the news, calling for a swift end to the war and the restoration of maritime freedoms.<\/p>\n
The situation in the Middle East is set to headline the upcoming EU summit in Brussels on June 18-19. Costa emphasized that the EU stands ready to contribute to a comprehensive strategy aimed at achieving lasting peace across the region, urging that disputes be resolved peacefully under international law.<\/p>\n
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted that the deal paves the way for broader peace negotiations. She specified that the agreement should effectively end Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs while curbing its destabilizing activities. She also stressed the need to diversify energy supply routes to prevent future bottlenecks in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz congratulated President Trump on the diplomatic breakthrough, noting that implementation is key to reviving the global economy. German diplomat Johann Wadephul stressed that the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened without any restrictions or extra fees.<\/p>\n
The preliminary peace deal, announced by President Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on June 14, mandates the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the blockade of Iranian ports. The final signing is scheduled for Friday in Switzerland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
