EU asks for reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and no more strikes on energy, water sites
European leaders have demanded the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a moratorium on strikes on water and energy infrastructure in the West Asia as they met in Brussels to grapple with rising energy prices caused by the war.
All heads of the 27 European Union nations known collectively as the European Council issued a joint statement Thursday calling for the stabilization of energy shipments and “de-escalation and maximum restraint” from warring parties.
“The European Council deplores the loss of civilian life and is closely monitoring the far-reaching impact of the hostilities, including on economic stability,” the statement read. The leaders also asked Iran to stop striking neighbours across the Persian Gulf, sought international cooperation to prevent any large-scale refugee crises in the West Asia, and said some EU nations are exploring ways “to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.”
