We've seen President Trump, last week, threaten what would have been the largest military campaign since World War II against the Iranians, and now, because of that, we are in talks with the Iranians.

I think there's a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the Strait of Hormuz.

We've been positively surprised by the developments in Syria since the 8th of December 2024.

What we've been focusing on is to keep the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Syria, but we also keep reminding of some of the principles about inclusive government and transitional justice.

Having myself served in Syria before the war and during the beginning of the war, I know how much that the question of citizenship was an issue for the Kurdish population there. There seems to be a good development.

We want to encourage the very positive stuff we've seen by the new Syrian transitional government and try to help them as much as we can as a council.

We don't want to see another failed state in the Levant, and we're happy for the Syrian people that there seems to be a different way forward right now.
