The G7 and the EU are calling for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and for mitigating the 'consequences' that neighbouring countries are suffering
Foreign ministers from the most powerful countries in the West, including the US, have called for "an immediate cessation of attacks on civilian populations and infrastructure."
The G7 countries and the European Union have called forthe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz at a meeting between foreign ministers. In the context of the war waged by theUS and Israel against Iran, Western actors have called for an "immediate" cessation of attacks on the population and civilian infrastructure.
"We reiterate the absolute need for the definitive restoration of free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2817 and maritime law," said the Foreign Ministers of Germany, Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as the EU's High Representative for Foreign Policy, Kaja Kallas .
The G7 countries and the EU have stressed that 'it is important to mitigate its impact on regional partners, civilian populations and critical infrastructure, as well as to coordinate humanitarian aid'.
"We call for an immediate cessation of attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure, "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement also signed. Today, the US has launched attacks on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, along with Israel." There is no justification for intentionally attacking civilians in armed conflict or diplomatic facilities. "
They have also addressed the "benefits of forming various alliances, coordinating efforts and supporting initiatives" to alleviate particularly the economic crises that directly affect "citizens" and "economic chains, trade and the supply of energy and fertilizers."
Since the onset of the Israeli-American offensive, Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuzeo, through which, before the war, the ships carrying the most oil and gas transported by sea passed.
