EU’s Kallas says Hormuz must be open again, backs mediation
The Strait of Hormuz must be open for passage again, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said, calling a US-Iran ceasefire agreement a step back from the brink after weeks of escalation.
Kallas said the door to mediation must remain open because the underlying causes of the war remain unresolved. She also said she had spoken with Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.
Her remarks came as international diplomats backed efforts to preserve the two-week ceasefire and prevent further disruption to shipping through the strategic waterway.
