Milan, 24 May (LaPresse) – ‘I welcome the progress made towards an agreement between the United States and Iran. We need an agreement that truly leads to a de-escalation of the conflict, reopens the Strait of Hormuz and guarantees full freedom of navigation without tolls.’ This was written on X by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. ‘Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. It must also put an end to its destabilising actions in the region, both directly and through intermediaries, as well as its unjustified and repeated attacks on neighbouring countries,’ added von der Leyen, assuring that “Europe will continue to work with international partners to seize this opportunity and reach a lasting diplomatic solution. And to mitigate the repercussions of this conflict, particularly on supply chains and energy prices.”
