World Leaders Welcome U.S.-Iran Agreement and Call for Swift Implementation

The United States and Iran signed an agreement overnight, Monday, prompting a wave of international praise for the deal, along with hopes for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the American blockade. Several leaders also stressed that the accord must be implemented quickly and carefully to preserve regional stability.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the agreement “an important development” for bringing peace and calm to the region. He said he sincerely hoped the news would lead to a lasting atmosphere of “peace and security,” and warned that until the signing day, people should avoid speeches, incitement and actions that could raise tensions. Erdogan added that he was grateful to Pakistan for its “extraordinary” mediation efforts, praised the leaderships of the U.S. and Iran, and thanked Qatar and Saudi Arabia for supporting diplomatic initiatives.

French President Emmanuel Macron also welcomed the deal, urging a “quick and full” implementation by all parties. He said it must allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, with measures already prepared and on alert. Macron called the resumption of maritime traffic, without restrictions or tariffs, a necessary condition for regional stability and the global economy. He said the agreement could open the door to comprehensive negotiations on peace and security in the Middle East, including Iran’s nuclear and missile programs and its regional destabilization policy.

Macron added that France was ready to take a full part in those efforts and would continue supporting Lebanese authorities in restoring state sovereignty. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz likewise welcomed the agreement, praising U.S. President Donald Trump and the Iranian side for a diplomatic breakthrough. He said the deal could help pave the way to a renewed global economy and a safer Middle East, and that it must be implemented decisively.
