“European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon threaten regional stability”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm the claim. One web search result explicitly states that Ursula von der Leyen warned that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Israeli strikes on Lebanon threaten regional stability. This is further supported by Wikipedia entries detailing the 2026 Iran war and the 2026 Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, as well as a Guardian report on her condemnation of efforts to block the waterway.
