Pakistan's foreign ministry has urged all parties to uphold their commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), a day after U.S. President Donald Trump declared the interim deal with Iran to be "over." The MoU is an interim agreement between Iran and the United States aimed at halting conflict and opening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei accused the U.S. of violating the agreement's structure through unilateral actions and aggressive attacks against Iran. Baqaei specifically cited the MoU's fifth clause, which he stated emphasizes Iran's responsibility for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. He added that Iran will defend its national interests and exercise sovereignty.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi further warned against any further U.S. military "adventurism," condemning U.S. attacks as a violation of the MoU. Araghchi also spoke with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, to discuss the current state of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire following regional hostilities.
