Senior EU officials welcomed a deal between the United States and Iran to end the war on Monday, saying Europe was ready to contribute to "a lasting peace."
"I look forward to an end to this costly war and to the full restoration of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," António Costa, the president of the European Council representing member states, wrote in a post on X.
"Weapons must now fall silent," Costa urged, saying the "European Union is ready to contribute to advancing a comprehensive strategy for lasting peace across the Middle East."
