Some Gulf Arab countries and European leaders believe that it will take about six months to reach a peace agreement between the US and Iran. They urge the conflicting parties to extend the ceasefire agreement to cover this timeframe. Leaders hope to immediately open the Strait of Hormuz to restore energy flow and warn that failure to do so by May could trigger a global food crisis. Most Gulf countries' leaders are against restarting hostilities and hope for US-Iran diplomatic mediation; the peace agreement should prohibit Iran from enriching uranium or possessing long-range ballistic missiles (Bloomberg).
