Iran Announces End of US-Iran MoU Amid Ongoing Attacks Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Golpayegani, declared on Sunday that the bilateral agreement between Iran and the United States, which had been signed earlier this year, is now terminated. The announcement came in the wake of renewed US military strikes against Iranian targets, with Golpayegani emphasizing that the previous "unilateral" agreement had reached its conclusion. He highlighted the fifth clause of the deal, which pertains to the Strait of Hormuz, stating that Iran would "make its best efforts" to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the waterway without tariffs for 60 days. Golpayegani accused the US of withdrawing from the agreement and declared that the era of unilateral treaties had ended. He warned that Iran would no longer tolerate demands to "keep your mouth shut or pay the price," asserting that the reality of the situation was now evident. This came after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) completed its third round of strikes against Iran, following a series of attacks on Iranian military assets in the Strait of Hormuz. The US military operation, which involved precision strikes from land, sea, and air, targeted approximately 140 Iranian military sites. These included missile and drone bases, naval facilities, munitions storage, communication networks, and coastal defense positions. CENTCOM stated that the strikes aimed to degrade Iran’s ability to threaten civilian and commercial vessels passing through the strategic waterway. The recent attacks followed a US strike on a merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran blamed for escalating tensions.#iran #strait_of_hormuz #us_central_command #iranian_military #mohammad_bagher_golpayegani
