image sourced from original article at Germany said it believes negotiations will continue despite the announcement of a United States blockade related to the Strait of Hormuz. A government spokesperson described the move as a tactic to increase pressure rather than a signal that diplomatic efforts have ended.
The spokesperson noted that a statement from United States Central Command did not refer to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz itself, but instead mentioned a blockade of Iranian ports, calling it a different approach. Berlin maintains that the diplomatic process remains ongoing.
