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

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warns Iran's potential control of the Strait of Hormuz is a 'very dangerous development.' She opposes any tolls on these international waters, stressing it could set a global precedent. She also emphasizes that the current fragile ceasefire should include Lebanon to prevent unnecessary civilian suffering, and highlights the need for Gulf states' voices to be heard in negotiations due to their deep understanding of Iran. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/2026/04/09/irans-control-of-hormuz-strait-could-lead-to-a-slippery-slope-says-kallas/
