An Iranian official addressed the emerging US-Iran agreement and demanded that other parties refrain from interfering in the Strait of Hormuz and adhere to the memorandum of understanding. According to the official, under the MOU the straits will return to pre-war capacity within 30 days under Iranian management, and any outside intervention would delay reopening and increase tensions. The remarks follow several days of Iranian parliamentary and analytical debate over the strait's reopening terms.
An Iranian official, whose identity was not disclosed in the broadcast, issued a statement Sunday evening demanding that no outside party interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz and that all sides uphold the emerging memorandum of understanding with the United States. According to the statement, under the terms of the MOU the Strait of Hormuz will return to its pre-war capacity within 30 days under Iranian management, and any intervention or attempt to act outside the agreement would complicate the situation, delay the reopening, and raise tensions.
The remarks come amid intense Iranian debate over the strait's status. Over the past two weeks, senior Iranian lawmakers including Ahmad Nabavian have warned that the MOU's language on "unlimited passage" effectively cedes Iranian control, while other officials have argued that the agreement places most practical commitments on Washington. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has explicitly stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war status. The Zioneer has covered these threads extensively since June 12, when President Trump first confirmed a 60-day ceasefire framework.
The official's insistence on Iranian management and non-interference appears aimed at reassuring domestic hardliners who fear the MOU weakens Tehran's grip on the strategic waterway. It remains unclear whether this statement reflects the official government position or a faction within the Iranian establishment.
