Western Leaders Demand Iran Reopen Strait of Hormuz as Oil Prices Rise

Western leaders are urging Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway carrying a fifth of global oil and LNG shipments, as prolonged closure drives up prices and threatens EU economic growth. EU foreign policy chief Kallas invoked international law requiring free transit, but Iran rejected this, with a foreign ministry spokesperson questioning the EU's credibility on international law given its support for US-Israeli actions. France and Britain convened an international meeting in Paris calling for unconditional reopening, while US-Iran peace talks have collapsed over Tehran's refusal to end its nuclear enrichment program.

Tehran asserts its right to regulate passage, citing self-defense against potential aggression. The EU, however, insists on free passage and warns against transit fees, offering maritime support to ensure open routes amid escalating regional tensions.
