Macron: G7 Leaders Unanimously Welcomed Iran Deal and Hormuz Reopening; Implementation Begins
French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that G7 leaders unanimously welcomed the agreement reached between the US and Iran to end the war and the Strait of Hormuz reopening, and vowed more Ukraine support. Macron’s statement is the principal European-side closure of the G7 Summit ahead of implementation. The G7 communique commitments — new Russia sanctions targeting the shadow oil fleet, increased Ukraine military aid including air-defence and long-range capabilities, and formal Iran-deal endorsement — now move into implementation phase across European capitals through Q3.
The Macron unanimous-welcome framing is the structural European political validation of the Trump-administration framework. The G7 implementation phase is the structural test of whether the European missile-capability concern can be folded into the nuclear-track follow-up talks without re-opening the operative MoU. The Russia shadow-oil-fleet sanctions package implementation is the operational extension of the Tuesday UK-side Starmer commitment. The Ukraine military-aid package addresses Patriot replenishment and long-range capabilities — both have been the structural Western response gaps through the early-summer Russian offensive. Trump departed the summit following the Iran-president signing.
