Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned the United States that the era of unilateral agreements is over. In a post on social media platform X, Ghalibaf stated that Iran had previously urged adherence to commitments, warning that failure to do so would have consequences. His message was accompanied by an image of Article 5 of a memorandum of understanding, which referenced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran would take necessary measures.

The statement comes amid renewed tensions between the United States and Iran over control and management of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Disagreements on this issue have reportedly led to recent attacks and heightened regional friction.

According to the source, the dispute underscores the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz and reflects Iran’s assertion of a stronger position in regional maritime affairs.
