Mohsen Raei, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, said Saturday that the United States has violated articles one and five of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, through its support for regional proxies and the escalation in the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that any further violation will draw a 'swift, harsh, and decisive' response, according to a statement carried on Iranian Telegram channels.
Mohsen Raei, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, accused the United States on Saturday of violating the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) and threatened a 'swift, harsh, and decisive' response to any further breach. According to a statement published on Iranian Telegram channels, Raei claimed the U.S. violated article one of the MoU by continuing to support its regional proxy forces, and article five by escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. The warning follows a series of similar statements from other Iranian officials as the framework, signed earlier this month, remains fragile.
The MoU is a 60-day stabilization framework aimed at de-escalating the direct kinetic conflict between Washington and Tehran. Previous statements from Iranian figures — including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and military advisor Mohsen Rezaei — have similarly accused the U.S. of non-compliance and threatened retaliation, as The Zioneer has reported over the past weeks. The current statement does not specify what form a response would take, and no independent verification of Raei's claims of U.S. violations has been provided.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint for global oil shipments, has been a key arena of tension in the U.S.-Iran standoff. Article five of the MoU reportedly addresses maritime security guarantees. Raei's warning represents the latest in a pattern of Iranian officials publicly framing the U.S. as the party undermining the accord.
