The European Union welcomed the US efforts to increase economic pressure on Iran, demonstrating alignment with the United States' posture towards Tehran. This position comes at a time of growing tension between the two countries.
The EU declared itself willing to adopt new measures aimed at protecting navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important maritime routes for oil transportation. The region has been the scene of incidents that threaten international navigation security.
The announcement of European measures comes after a military escalation between Washington and Tehran, which significantly raised tension levels in the Middle East. The situation in the region has worried the international community, leading the European Union to consider concrete actions to guarantee stability.
