The Australian Government welcomes the agreement between the United States and Iran and highlights the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as a key step to reduce tensions in the Middle East.
Australian authorities point out that the understanding reached between Washington and Tehran represents an opportunity to move towards regional stability and alleviate the energy crisis generated by the conflict.
The Government especially emphasizes the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic route through which a significant part of the world’s oil and gas trade transits, and considers that the measure contributes to the normalization of international maritime transport.
