von der Leyen Welcomes Potential US, Iran Deal
"I welcome 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," von der Leyen stated via the US social media platform X.
She underscored that Iran "must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon" and urged Tehran to halt activities she described as "destabilizing in the region, directly or through proxies, as well as its unjustified and repeated attacks on its neighbours."
Von der Leyen further noted that "Europe will continue working with international partners to seize this moment for a lasting diplomatic solution. And to contain the spillover of this conflict, notably on supply chains and energy prices."
Following discussions with regional leaders, US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that an arrangement with Iran to end the war that began on Feb. 28 — which resulted in the effective closure of the strait — was "largely negotiated" and awaited completion.
