Washington(The COW News Digital)Leaders of the world’s seven largest economies, collectively known as the G7, have urged U.S. President Donald Trump to immediately end the ongoing conflict with Iran, emphasizing the need to reduce regional tensions and ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route.
According to U.S. media reports, the G7 leaders conveyed their concerns during a summit meeting focused on international security and economic stability. They stressed that the continuation of hostilities could disrupt trade and destabilize the broader Middle East region.
During the discussions, President Trump asserted that Iran is nearing the point of surrender but acknowledged that no senior Iranian official remains in a position to formally declare a cessation of hostilities. He indicated that while the situation is improving in the Strait of Hormuz, immediate measures are required to protect maritime traffic and ensure that commercial vessels can resume operations safely.
Trump emphasized that a lasting resolution to the crisis is essential to prevent the recurrence of a war-like situation with Iran in the coming years. He noted that global trade relies heavily on the uninterrupted flow of goods through the Persian Gulf and that safeguarding this key maritime corridor is a shared responsibility.
The G7 leaders highlighted the importance of coordinated action to maintain regional stability, urging the United States and its allies to pursue diplomatic and economic measures alongside security efforts. They underscored that collaborative strategies are necessary to protect international trade routes and prevent escalation in a region already facing heightened tensions.
In a related diplomatic development, the President of Egypt contacted the Iranian President via telephone, condemning recent attacks on Gulf countries and calling for de-escalation. Such communications underscore the international consensus on the importance of dialogue and conflict prevention.
Analysts say the G7’s appeal reflects growing concern over the impact of the conflict on global energy markets, trade, and security. With the Persian Gulf serving as a major transit point for oil and other commodities, even brief disruptions could have far-reaching economic consequences.
The summit concluded with a commitment by member nations to continue joint efforts aimed at stabilizing the region, safeguarding trade, and supporting diplomatic solutions that address the underlying causes of the conflict.
