European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has welcomed “the progress towards an agreement between the US and Iran”.
“We need a deal that truly de-escalates the conflict, reopens the Strait of Hormuz and guarantees toll-free full freedom of navigation. Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon,” von der Leyen wrote on X.
Europe will help in working towards a lasting diplomatic solution and containing the spillover of the war, von der Leyen said.
