A senior Iranian official vows a “swift and decisive” response to what he calls violations by the United States of the memorandum of understanding.
“America, by supporting the actions of its proxy forces in the region, has violated the first article of the memorandum of understanding, and by continuing to create tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, has violated the fifth article,” Mohsen Rezaei, a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, which is appointed by the supreme leader, writes on X.
Rezaei appears to refer to Israeli strikes in Lebanon against Hezbollah, and strikes on Iran last night that came in response to an Iranian attack on a cargo ship in the Hormuz.
“The response to the violation of any article of the memorandum of understanding will be swift and decisive,” Rezaei says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
