Von der Leyen Hails Progress in US–Iran Negotiations
In a statement shared on social media platform X, she said she welcomed movement toward an agreement, adding that any deal must deliver meaningful de-escalation and ensure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, along with what she described as full and toll-free freedom of navigation.
She reiterated the EU’s position that Iran "must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon" and urged Tehran to halt activities she characterized as destabilizing, including actions carried out directly or through allied groups, as well as repeated strikes against neighboring countries.
Von der Leyen also wrote: "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."
Meanwhile, according to reports, US President Donald Trump said on Saturday after discussions with regional leaders that an agreement with Iran aimed at ending the conflict that began on Feb. 28 and led to the de facto closure of the strait was “largely negotiated” and now awaiting final completion.
