We condemn Iran’s reckless attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and countries in the region, including Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan.
Respect for sovereignty over territorial seas and freedom of navigation are fundamental principles of international law.
We reaffirm our continued support for the swift and full resumption of international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and express full solidarity with our Gulf and regional partners.
We also call for the resumption of the ceasefire and of negotiations.
