EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has urged for free passage through the Strait of Hormuz after discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the UN General Assembly. Kallas emphasized that ships should not incur tolls once the conflict between the US and Iran concludes, while also addressing human rights issues in Iran. The backdrop of these discussions includes ongoing indirect negotiations between US and Iranian officials, with tensions still high due to Iran's recent parliamentary decisions regarding maritime regulations.
