EU's Kallas warns of 'slippery slope' if Iran controls Strait of Hormuz

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warns Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz could set a dangerous precedent, allowing tolls in international waters. She stresses the need to stick to international law for freedom of navigation, opposes a US-Iran joint venture idea, and calls for the fragile ceasefire to include Lebanon amid ongoing attacks. The EU highlights broader concerns like Iran's nuclear and missile issues, emphasizing Gulf states' voices in negotiations. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/04/09/eus-kallas-warns-of-slippery-slope-if-iran-controls-strait-of-hormuz/

International law must be respected, no exceptions. Kallas is right to push for that.

Gulf states' voices are crucial here. Can't have decisions made for them.

The idea of tolls in international waters is a scary precedent. Hope diplomacy works.
