Iran declares Islamabad agreement suspended, blames US violations Iran said on Saturday that it had suspended all of its commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), accusing the United States of violating the agreement as military exchanges between the two countries continued. The announcement by Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi marks Tehran's clearest statement yet that it no longer considered itself bound by the Pakistan -mediated agreement, which was signed in June to end hostilities between Washington and Tehran. The 14-point MoU included provisions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lift the US naval blockade and begin a phased de-escalation after weeks of fighting.
