EU, UN consider alternative plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz

Via JFEED:

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Monday that she has discussed with the United Nations the possibility of creating an international arrangement to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, drawing inspiration from the wartime agreement that allowed Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea.

Speaking to reporters in Brussels before a meeting of EU foreign ministers, Kallas said she had raised the idea with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres as global energy supplies remain heavily disrupted by the ongoing war with Iran.

“I had talks with Antonio Guterres about whether it was possible to also have the same kind of initiative like we had with the Black Sea Initiative,” Kallas said.
