Confidential message from the EU<\/b> on freedom<\/b> of navigation<\/b> and the need for a diplomatic solution<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The risk that imposing payments<\/b> for transit through the Sea Strait of Hormuz<\/b> would pose was highlighted by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Kaya Kalas<\/strong>, underlining that such a development would set a “dangerous precedent<\/b>” for international maritime routes.<\/p>\n Speaking in Brussels as part of a meeting with Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide<\/strong> and Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa<\/strong>, noted that the situation in the region remains extremely volatile.<\/p>\n As he said, “in the Strait of Hormuz there are daily changes on whether the seaway is open or closed<\/b>“, which adds to the uncertainty for global shipping and the energy market.<\/p>\n Referring to the Middle East<\/b>, Callas <\/b>underlined that the “fragile ceasefires” with Iran and Lebanon create a limited timeframe for de-escalation<\/b>, warning, however, that “diplomacy must pay off in the region, otherwise we will return to war<\/b>“.<\/p>\n She stressed that beyond Tehran’s nuclear program<\/b>, there are other critical issues that need to be put on the negotiating table<\/b>, such as the ballistic missile programme<\/b>, but also the role of regional allies<\/b>, which – she noted – must be part of a comprehensive solution<\/b>.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A clear message from the EU on freedom of navigation and the need for a diplomatic solution.
