Sources: 17. Developments: 3. In June, the United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) intended to serve as a central component of Iran's future foreign policy. Iranian leadership, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, framed the agreement as a security guarantee for Iran and the region. However, implementation has been marked by mutual accusations of violations. The United States has accused Iran of illegal toll collection and attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran claims U.S. maritime routing breaches the pact. As of August, President Pezeshkian has called for a diplomatic agreement to exit the current state of "neither war nor peace," suggesting that negotiations are being processed through a framework in Oman. While Oman has described talks regarding the Strait of Hormuz as "positive and constructive," Tehran has issued six non-negotiable conditions for opening the waterway, including the removal of sanctions, the withdrawal of U.S. forces, and the payment of reparations. In early August, President Pezeshkian reaffirmed Tehran's readiness to pursue peace based on the MoU, though he emphasized that Iran's level of commitment would depend on U.S. compliance and the creation of an atmosphere of mutual trust. He noted that final policy decisions remain guided by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and warned that Iran would not accept the use of force. While the MoU established a 60-day window for final negotiations, recent regional escalations have introduced uncertainty regarding the process. In response, U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated that the United States is evaluating Iran's willingness to make long-term changes to improve bilateral relations, maintaining that the U.S. will continue to apply pressure. ## Claims - Iran will align its commitment levels with the level of US compliance with the MoU.
