Strait of Hormuz Iran-US negotiations maritime security Islamabad Memorandum energy supply routes

Iran has reaffirmed that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States fulfills seven specific conditions outlined in the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated that Tehran has received new proposals from Washington via Qatari mediators but emphasized that the era of unilateral demands is over.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi noted that if the proposed plan is accepted, the strategic waterway could reopen within seven days. While expressing a preference for diplomatic solutions, Araghchi warned that Iran is prepared to respond with greater strength if the U.S. chooses military action.

Simultaneously, tensions in the region have escalated following reports from the UK Maritime Trade Organization that an unidentified projectile struck a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, damaging its engine room. The incident occurred amid ongoing diplomatic friction regarding maritime security and the implementation sequence of various measures between the two nations.
