Iran’s state TV on May 30 released details of what it said was an unofficial draft of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding (MoU), saying that the text would give the Islamic Republic broad authority over traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and require the United States to provide Iran full access to $12 billion in frozen assets within 60 days.
One of the most important parts of the draft is the “redefinition of navigation rules” in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran designated as the “exclusive authority” to determine the nature of passing vessels, state TV reported.
