G7 to discuss US-Iran deal and Strait of Hormuz reopening

G7 leaders will meet in Evian, France, from Monday to discuss the fallout from the agreement reached between the United States and Iran, French President Emmanuel Macron says.

Macron said the talks would cover support for Lebanon, the long-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and efforts to reach a wider agreement on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

“The objective will be to see the consequences of this agreement, the support for Lebanon, the reopening of Hormuz in the long term, and obviously the conclusion of an agreement on nuclear and ballistic missiles in Iran,” Macron said in a video posted on Instagram after arriving in the city on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Macron is hosting Trump and the leaders of Germany, Canada, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom for three days of talks starting Monday.
