Foreign Minister Winston Peters says New Zealand welcomes the announcement of the acceptance of the United States – Iran Memorandum of Understanding aimed at ending the conflict in the Middle East.
“This pivotal, constructive deal is a step towards reducing tensions and promoting stability in a region that is critical to global economic security.
“The disruption to the Strait of Hormuz has had serious impacts on New Zealand’s economy, as well as on our Pacific partners,” Peters says.
“We welcome steps that will enable the safe reopening of this vital maritime route and restore confidence in key supply chains.
“Dialogue and diplomacy remain the most effective means of resolving longstanding issues.
“This is a good first step and we hope the parties now seize the opportunity to resolve the tensions in the region,” said Peters.

Yeah right, Winnie.
YOU Winston Peters have historically supported sanctions and embargoes against Iran and aligned closely with Zio-Fascist Israel in the past, throughout your role as weasle Kingmaker. Your currentremarks are coming from 2 agendas: one is electioneering, which were high-lighted here:

The Second one is what is high=lighted here:

YOU Winston sold New Zealand for YOUR egomanic aspirations, enabling real psychopaths of National and Labour to complete the sell-out.
Now you breath a sigh of relief that TSHTF is seemingly on hold.
YOU focus on the immediate economic and strategic benefits of de-escalation, particularly for supply chains and fuel prices, rather than a full endorsement of Iran’s broader geopolitical role as balance to israhell insanity.
This is not pragmatism. It is not even ‘Chameleonism’.
The fitting analogy is ‘Cuttlefish’, ’cause you change colours AND have no spine, spueing tactical diplomatic slippery slime.
And no one cares what NZ thinks…..well just so long as it goes on kowtowing before the US imperialists……….
