German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the agreement between the United States and Iran offers an opportunity for regional stability and economic security, stressing that “the agreed-upon peace must now hold”.
Writing on X, Merz said the leaders of the Group of Seven nations were united in supporting the accord. “We are united on this as G7,” he wrote.
Merz said the agreement presents “an opportunity for the stability of the region and for the global economy” as efforts continue to restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
The German leader had earlier said Berlin had already dispatched mine-clearing vessels to the region ahead of an anticipated full reopening of the strategic waterway.
