At the G7 summit in Évian on June 17, 2026, leaders called for an immediate and effective ceasefire in Lebanon and the disarmament of Hezbollah. Their statement followed praise for the U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending the war in the Middle East.
Reducing Dependence on the Strait of Hormuz
The G7 nations — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States — reaffirmed their commitment to reducing reliance on the Strait of Hormuz for energy supply. They emphasized accelerating diversification of energy supply routes to enhance energy security and increase strategic reserves.
Diplomatic and Security Measures
In the official communiqué, leaders underscored the need for negotiations to address regional and global threats posed by Iran — particularly its nuclear ambitions. “We emphasize the need for negotiations… to confront the threats posed by Iran to the region and beyond, and to ensure it never acquires a nuclear weapon,” the statement reads.
G7 leaders also declared readiness to support implementation of the U.S.-Iran agreement. A maritime security coalition led by the UK and France stands prepared to help safeguard navigation following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
