Iran rejects Macron’s plan
Iran has rejected French President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to clear the Strait of Hormuz. France and the U.K. have been spearheading efforts to put together a maritime mission to secure the key waterway for global oil and gas deliveries.
Spain’s mass legalization
Nearly 1 million unauthorized migrants have applied for legal status in Spain. The mass legalization drive has coincided with the sweeping overhaul of the EU’s policies and the introduction of stricter migration rules.
Brussels downplays Vatican criticism
“We do not usually comment on comments,” chief Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho told POLITICO, responding to the Vatican’s criticism of the EU’s double standard on war.
US and Iran agree to resume talks
The US and Iran have agreed to resume talks after a weekend of strikes. Washington has proposed this week’s discussions, which are expected to center on the Strait of Hormuz, take place in Doha and begin as early as Tuesday.
