Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called on the United States to uphold the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) it signed, emphasizing its importance for Iran's future foreign relations. The MoU, which was endorsed by Iran's Parliament, aims to enhance regional security by permanently ending military operations, lifting U.S. naval blockades, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the agreement being signed on June 17, 2026, a diplomatic pause collapsed in July due to breaches at Hormuz, leading to renewed hostilities. Pezeshkian highlighted the MoU as a pivotal element for the security of Iran and its allies. Additionally, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted progress in negotiations with Oman regarding a new route, although this is not linked to the Hormuz Strait's status. Meanwhile, Iran has received assurances from Bulgaria, Ukraine, and the UK regarding non-involvement in conflicts against Iran.
