Last update: 4 hours agoMiddle East Ceasefire & Shipping: The US and Iran announced an “immediate and permanent” end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and set a June 19 signing in Switzerland—aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restoring “toll-free” freedom of navigation.

EU/Italy Position: European leaders including Italy backed the deal and stressed Hormuz must resume “without restrictions,” while also calling for rapid, comprehensive implementation and continued talks on unresolved issues. G7 Context: The breakthrough lands as G7 leaders meet in Evian-les-Bains, with the agenda also set to cover Ukraine, economic imbalances, and AI—while Trump’s arrival adds extra diplomatic friction. Italian Business Impact: Italy’s energy-price volatility is again in focus, with firms pushed to decarbonise and improve efficiency to stay competitive amid shocks.
