Iran lists demands for Strait of Hormuz passage, citing expired MOU with US

Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has presented a list of demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. These demands include the United States fulfilling "other terms" previously agreed upon in a memorandum of understanding that expired recently.

The expired memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US included several key agreements. Both sides committed to the "immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts" and pledged not to initiate any war or military operation against each other. They also agreed to "respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to refrain from interfering in each other’s internal affairs."

Under the terms of the MOU, the US agreed to end its naval blockade of Iranian ports within 30 days. In return, Iran would ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days. The US also committed to working with partners on a plan for Iran's reconstruction and economic development, including a fund of at least $300 billion, and to work towards eliminating all types of sanctions against Iran.

Furthermore, the US agreed to issue waivers for Iranian crude oil exports and to unfreeze Iranian funds and assets. Iran, in turn, agreed not to procure or develop nuclear weapons and to discuss nuclear enrichment related to its needs.
