German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has held talks with his American counterpart, Marco Rubio, in Washington, DC, and reaffirmed support for the US-Iran MoU.
In a statement on X, he said the deal was an “important step” and that “it creates an opportunity for diplomacy in what remains a highly fragile situation.”
He added: “The priority now is to reach a sustainable solution that ensures safe and free passage through the #StraitOfHormuz and, in particular, addresses Iran’s nuclear programme, which must never again pose a threat.”
The transatlantic partnership is indispensable - that was clearly reaffirmed in my meeting with @SecRubio in #Washington today. As the 🇺🇸 marks 250 years of independence this week, we are reminded of what binds our countries together: freedom and democracy. @AussenMinDE 1/6 https://t.co/ManU4AtF6R
