E4 calls for 'urgent' reopening of Strait of Hormuz

The so-called E4 (Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy) have welcomed the ceasefire deal reached by the US and Iran and stressed the importance of restoring "unconditional and unrestricted" navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for gas and oil exports.

"We are committed to playing our part to achieve this — in accordance with our respective constitutional requirements — including through a strictly defensive and independent mission to reassure commercial shipping and conduct mine clearance operations," the four countries said in a joint statement.

The four nations say they are "prepared" to lift sanctions on Iran provided the country takes "clear, verifiable steps" to address its nuclear programme and guarantee its civilian purpose.

'Crucial return to peace, multilateralism and diplomacy,' IMO says

Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), welcomed the ceasefire and the peace deal affecting the Strait of Hormuz announced by US President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday evening.

"This signals a crucial return to peace, dialogue, multilateralism and diplomacy, and in particular, an important step toward restoring safety in this vital maritime corridor for seafarers and ships, as well as safeguarding the fundamental principle of freedom of navigation," reads the IMO statement.

The IMO said it is working in close collaboration with member states and partners to implement this plan safely and effectively. But it notes that its implementation will "require time to ensure that all necessary safety and security guarantees are in place".
