Germany urged Iran to comply with a ceasefire with the United States and guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The insistence, according to a report by Anadolu Agency quoted on Friday, April 10, was delivered by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul while speaking with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Thursday night.
In a message delivered through the X platform, Wadephul also asked Iran to engage in constructive negotiations. He emphasized the importance of Iran adhering to the ceasefire with the US, continuing negotiations, and ensuring freedom and safety of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that Washington and Tehran had agreed to a two-week ceasefire after being mediated by Pakistan. The first round of US-Iranian talks to discuss a permanent end to the war is scheduled to begin on Saturday in Islamabad, Pakistan, with US Vice President JD Vance leading the Washington delegation.
Tensions in the region have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran on February 28. According to Anadolu, the attack killed more than 3,000 people, including the then Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran then retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Iran also restricted the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
