On Tuesday, the European Union’s foreign policy chief stated that the bloc is consulting Gulf countries to potentially “bring forward proposals for Iran, Israel and the U.S.” to exit their ongoing conflict in a scenario where “everybody saves face.”

Kaja Kallas, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, shared these remarks with Reuters, adding that “it would be in the interest of every side if this war comes to an end.”

Kallas was quoted as saying, “We have been consulting with regional countries including the Gulf countries, Jordan, Egypt, about whether we can bring forward proposals for Iran, Israel and the U.S. to exit this situation, so that everybody saves face.”

She also reportedly noted, “The trouble with wars is that they are easier to start than to stop, and they always end up spiraling out of control,” adding that the EU is willing to help “diplomatically to bring all parties together to truly end this war.”

Kallas also pushed back against comments former U.S. President Donald Trump made over the weekend, where Trump claimed that “Many countries, especially those impacted by Iran’s attempted closure of the Strait of Hormuz, will send warships to work alongside the United States to keep the strait open and safe.”

“No country is ready to put their people in harm’s way in the Strait of Hormuz,” Kallas told Reuters on Tuesday. “We have to find diplomatic paths to keep this waterway open, so we do not end up with a new food crisis, fertilizer crisis and energy crisis as well.”

Trump stated on Truth Social this past Saturday that, “We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability, but even though Iran is badly defeated, it is still easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or fire a short-range missile somewhere along or inside this waterway.”

“Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and other countries impacted by this artificial restriction will send ships to the area, so the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be threatened by a nation that has been totally decapitated,” Trump wrote. “In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian boats and ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!”
