We condemn Iran’s reckless attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and countries in the region including Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan. Respect for sovereignty over territorial seas and freedom of navigation are fundamental principles of international law. We reaffirm our continued support for the swift and full resumption of international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and express full solidarity with our Gulf and regional partners. We also call for the resumption of the ceasefire and of negotiations.

We warmly welcome the announcement of the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran. We congratulate the United States, the Iranian government and all those involved, including Pakistan, Qatar and all other mediators, on this diplomatic breakthrough. This is a moment of opportunity to restore regional stability and stabilise the global economy. It is now vital that the detailed negotiations are concluded and this agreement is implemented rapidly and comprehensively. We are ready to support that effort. The urgent re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz with unconditional and unrestricted freedom of navigation is essential. We are committed to playing our part to achieve this – in accordance with our respective constitutional requirements – including through a strictly defensive and independent mission to reassure commercial shipping and conduct mine clearance operations.
