🇺🇸🇮🇷JD Vance on Iran:
“We are extending an open hand to Iran. If they want to change their relationship with us, we will change our relationship with Iran.”
I welcome the agreement reached between the US and Iran, following sustained diplomatic efforts by several partners.
The priority now is its swift and full implementation by all parties.
This agreement should allow for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Freedom of navigation must be restored toll-free.
This is essential for regional stability and the global economy.
It opens the door to broader negotiations on peace and security in the Middle East.
And should end Iran’s nuclear and ballistic programmes and its destabilising activities in the region.
And of course there can be no peace in the Middle East while Lebanon is in flames.
Once again Europe calls on all parties to respect Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity and implement a genuine ceasefire.
In Evian, G7 leaders will meet partners from the Gulf and the wider Middle East. Europe is ready to play its part.
This crisis also carries a clear lesson.
Once again, energy dependencies have been weaponised.
We must diversify our supply routes and develop alternative export corridors to diversify away from the bottleneck of Hormuz.
We will discuss this, and more, in Evian.
Más de 7.400 muertos, la mayoría civiles. Cientos de hogares, colegios y hospitales destruidos. Un incremento generalizado de los precios y miles de millones de euros en pérdidas, también en Europa. Este es el saldo que ha tenido el conflicto en Irán.
Confiamos en que el acuerdo de paz anunciado hoy sirva para poner fin a este sinsentido, que sea respetado por todas las partes, y que marque así el inicio de una nueva etapa en Oriente Medio.
Celebremos. Pero no olvidemos. Y aprendamos de una vez por todas que la guerra es un fracaso. El diálogo y la diplomacia son el único camino.
We welcome the agreement reached on the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran. We extend our thanks to our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, as well as to all regional and international parties that contributed to creating the conditions conducive to reaching this understanding. We look forward to all parties engaging in the forthcoming negotiations in a positive and constructive spirit that will help consolidate this progress and build upon it.
We reaffirm that the State of Qatar will remain a steadfast supporter of these efforts and of all endeavours aimed at strengthening security and stability at the regional and international levels through dialogue and peaceful means.
I warmly congratulate the US & Iran for having reached a peace deal that provides for an immediate & permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a framework for further negotiations. This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict.
My deep appreciation goes to Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and other regional countries, for the constructive role played in supporting the negotiations that led to the peace deal.
BREAKING: "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete."
President Trump says he has authorized the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate removal of the U.S. naval blockade following what he says is a completed agreement with Iran.
"Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!"
Je salue l’accord conclu entre les États-Unis et l’Iran, fruit d’un effort diplomatique auquel ont contribué plusieurs partenaires. J’appelle à sa mise en œuvre rapide et complète par tous les belligérants.
Cet accord doit permettre la réouverture urgente et inconditionnelle du détroit d’Ormuz, que la mission internationale mise en place avec le Royaume-Uni est prête à accompagner. Les moyens sont en place et prêts à être engagés. La reprise du trafic maritime, sans restriction ni péage, est une condition indispensable à la stabilité régionale et à l’économie mondiale.
Cet accord ouvre également la voie à une négociation globale au service de la paix et de la sécurité de tous au Moyen-Orient. Celle-ci devra permettre de répondre aux préoccupations liées aux programmes nucléaire et balistique de l’Iran, ainsi qu’à sa politique de déstabilisation régionale. C’est ainsi que nous pourrons bâtir une paix solide et durable. La France est disposée à y prendre toute sa part, aux côtés de ses partenaires.
Elle continuera également à apporter son plein soutien aux efforts déterminés des autorités libanaises pour restaurer la souveraineté de l’État, qui est le seul à même d’assurer la stabilité et l’intégrité territoriale du Liban et de répondre aux besoins des populations. Un cessez-le-feu robuste et durable est pour cela indispensable.
