- Germany won’t commit to Hormuz mission before seeing US-Iran deal
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated Germany will not commit to a mission securing the Strait of Hormuz until the U.S. and Iran's peace agreement details are public. The U.S. and Iran are set to sign a memorandum of understanding, but its terms remain unclear, and Germany requires consent from coastal states like Iran. Germany may use the EU's Aspides mission as a legal basis for involvement.
