A statement issued by the German foreign ministry has dubbed the agreement between the US and Iran to halt attacks against each other and continue negotiations “an important step”.
“It creates an opportunity for diplomacy in what remains a highly fragile situation,” the statement issued after a meeting between German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
It added that the priority now was to reach a “sustainable solution” that ensured safe and free passage through the Strait of Hormuz and addressed Iran’s nuclear programme, “which must never again pose a threat”.
