The new attacks by Iran and the United States in the Middle East have complicated talks to end the war, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Wednesday. "The exchanges of fire between the US and Iran further complicate already fraught talks to end the war. Iran's attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait are unacceptable," Kallas said in a post on X. "Next Monday, EU Foreign Ministers will meet with their Gulf counterparts to discuss how we can work together to support the implementation of the agreement and preserve freedom of navigation in the Strait as well as the Red Sea." The US military unleashed a new wave of strikes against Iran on Tuesday and revoked a license allowing Iran to sell oil after three tankers were hit by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump said an interim agreement to end the war with Iran was "over" on Wednesday after Tehran carried out new attacks. Asked before a NATO summit in Türkiye whether the memorandum of understanding reached last month was over, Trump said: "It's a very interesting question. To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them."
