Explainer: why the Iran–U.S. ceasefire memorandum frayed over Hormuz
Confirmed
What we know
Reuters/Al-Monitor explainers on July 13 laid out how renewed hostilities eroded the June MoU: Iran fired on vessels using unapproved routes and declared the strait closed again; Washington revoked Iran’s oil-sale license on July 7 and Trump called the ceasefire over, saying Iranian officials were not honouring deals.
The MoU committed both sides to negotiate a final deal within 60 days but never scheduled talks once Hormuz control was contested again.
