Germany urges Iran to engage in talks, reopen Strait of Hormuz unconditionally

In a post on the US social media platform X, Wadephul said he made the call during a phone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

“I urged Iran to finally engage constructively in negotiations with regional neighbours & USA in order to bring the conflict to an end,” he said.

He also called for the unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime route for global energy supplies.

“The Strait of Hormuz needs to be opened unconditionally, ensuring free and safe navigation for all,” he added.
