European Union leaders held a summit in Brussels on Thursday to discuss the Iran war, energy prices, migration, and a massive loan for war-ravaged Ukraine being held up by Hungary.

Many of those leaders have deflected entreaties by US President Donald Trump to send military assets to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for the global flow of oil, gas and fertiliser.

Rising energy prices because of the war and fears in Europe of a new refugee crisis have pushed leaders to make the Middle East one of the top priorities at the summit.
