The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, Kirill Dmitriev, who is also the Russian President’s Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, spoke on his X page briefly about Germany’s reluctance to participate in the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
– Rebellion? – Dmitriev asked a question.
Shortly before that, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Berlin had rejected US President Donald Trump’s call to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz.
The Financial Times newspaper, citing informed sources, wrote that France, Italy and other European countries have begun negotiations with Iran to ensure the safe passage of their ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
G7 leaders called on Donald Trump to quickly end the war with Iran and secure the Strait of Hormuz. In particular, policymakers are concerned about the growing risks posed by the economic fallout from the conflict in the Middle East.
Information emerged that oil prices reached $100 per barrel after Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said the Strait of Hormuz should remain closed to put pressure on Washington.
