[92513] Tensions at a peak: Iran accuses the US of violating the agreement, Strait of Hormuz closed again
Escalation in the Gulf: Iran accuses Washington of violating the agreement
Tensions between Tehran and Washington are reaching a boiling point, as the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that the US failed to meet its obligations under the memorandum of understanding recently signed between the parties. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, claimed according to gdh that "the other side did not fulfill its obligation to ensure the cessation of the Zionist regime's attacks in Lebanon," and emphasized that Tehran will continue to condition the implementation of its obligations on American conduct.
Simultaneously, reports in various channels, including Son Dakika Haberler Gündem, clarified the gravity of the situation from Tehran's perspective, which issued an ultimatum to the US to implement the clauses of the memorandum quickly, otherwise it is expected to face "serious problems." The channel GündemX even updated that against the backdrop of the failure attributed to Washington, Iran decided to close the Strait of Hormuz to traffic again.
On the other hand, US President Donald Trump responded to the situation by claiming that within the framework of the ceasefire period, no transit fees will be collected in the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days. However, Trump emphasized that if a final agreement is not formulated by the end of this period, the US will be the sole party determining the tariffs, while defining the US as the "guardian angel" of Middle Eastern countries, as reported in Son Dakika Haberler Gündem.
In the background, expert Dr. Canan Tercan from Istanbul emphasized in an interview with Gündem Haber that this is a complex 14-point agreement. She noted that it is possible there are technical annexes or secret diplomatic summaries that have not been revealed to the public, which raises questions regarding the transparency of the process and the contradictory interpretations of the parties.
