Hormuz Clash Tests the US-Iran MoU as Strikes Escalate

Following a preliminary 60-day MoU aimed at ending the US-Iran conflict, the US and Iran traded strikes around the Strait of Hormuz: Washington said it hit Iranian missile and radar sites after an attack on a commercial ship, while Iran retaliated against US installations and warned of broader responses. The flare‑up centers on control of the vital waterway and the safety of navigation, threatening the durability of the MoU as negotiations on open transit continue.
