Iranian FM Araghchi blames US for Strait of Hormuz instability, citing Islamabad MoU breach

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the US of violating an Islamabad-based memorandum of understanding, alleging this breach is the primary driver of regional insecurity and recent infrastructure attacks. The statement, delivered to Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, signals a shift toward framing regional maritime tensions as a direct consequence of failed diplomatic implementation rather than isolated military incidents. The specific terms of the referenced MoU remain opaque, complicating verification of the alleged breach.
