Deputy Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Yadollah Javani, said today that the war must conclude in accordance with the memorandum of understanding signed between Iran and the United States.

Javani made the remarks to the Young Journalists Club, a media outlet affiliated with Iranian state television, during a meeting dedicated to analyzing the latest developments related to the conflict.

The official insisted that the end of hostilities must align with the terms of the memorandum reached with Washington.

He also stated that the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened until the United States fulfills the obligations set forth in that agreement.

Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum on June 18 regarding freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, though its implementation remains stalled due to disagreements over security conditions in that strategic waterway.

Between July 8 and 24, the United States resumed its attacks against Iran, while Tehran responded with actions against U.S. military installations and equipment in Arab countries, according to the Iranian version.

Subsequently, both sides resumed talks on the safe transit of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

The United States and Israel had initiated attacks against Iran on February 28, to which Tehran responded with actions against Israel and U.S. targets in the region, before a ceasefire was reached.
