BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. EU High
Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas
has announced that European foreign ministers will discuss how the
European Union can be closely involved in the next phase of the
newly announced deal between the U.S. and Iran.
This is reflected in an official statement published by the EU
High Representative on her X social media account.
"I have spoken to my Iranian and Gulf counterparts in recent
days, and today, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how the EU can
be closely involved in the next phase," the statement says.
According to Kallas, the announced agreement to end the war and
reopen the Strait of Hormuz marks a potential breakthrough that
could provide the necessary diplomatic space for deeper
negotiations on Iran's nuclear program and other critical security
issues.
The diplomat noted that once fully implemented, the arrangement
should also play a significant role in easing the global energy
crisis.
Furthermore, the EU foreign policy chief pointed out that the
Union stands ready to actively contribute to a sustainable
resolution by leveraging its economic influence, technical nuclear
expertise, and long-standing relationships with partners across the
Gulf region.
A ceasefire agreement has been reached between the U.S and Iran,
calling for an immediate and permanent cessation of military
hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The potential agreement between Iran and the U.S. covers issues
related to sanctions, nuclear weapons, and the reopening of the
Strait of Hormuz. Specifically, Tehran has agreed to refrain from
developing and acquiring nuclear weapons.
