Russia calls for implementing US-Iran MoU after Trump rejects new proposal
Middle East5 sources4 countries2m ago
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has called for the implementation of a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding (MoU) regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The appeal follows President Donald Trump’s rejection of a new proposal from Tehran aimed at reopening the strategic waterway. Lavrov characterized the June agreement as a fair and honest deal.
President Trump confirmed that Iran had approached the U.S. with a proposal to reopen the Strait, citing Iran's economic pressure as a primary motivator. While the U.S. President expressed an openness to future negotiations, he declined the specific terms of the latest Iranian offer.
