Open shipping lanes are critical for global trade. We can negotiate strong verification measures while still pursuing diplomacy—it's not about trust, it's about smart agreements.

Yes, absolutely. Economic isolation hasn't worked for decades. A negotiated settlement with proper inspections is Europe's position, and it makes sense.

Iran has broken nuclear agreements before. Lifting sanctions without ironclad guarantees just emboldens bad actors. We've seen how appeasement fails.

Brazil depends on stable global energy markets. If lifting the blockade means lower oil prices and less regional conflict, that's worth exploring with strong oversight.

India imports oil from Iran. The blockade hurts developing nations more than anyone. But any deal must include real accountability mechanisms.

Stability in the Middle East benefits Japan's energy security. Diplomatic solutions are preferable to military tensions, even if it requires difficult compromises.
