Iran seeks a return to a June Memorandum of Understanding with the US, setting conditions including implementation of Article 5 on Strait of Hormuz arrangements, according to a CNN report citing Tasnim. Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir visited Tehran on August 23 as an intermediary, carrying a US-drafted framework proposing staged sanctions relief in exchange for Iran fully reopening the strait and halting allied group attacks. The June 17 MoU, intended to support a US-Iran ceasefire and resume Hormuz traffic, collapsed over interpretation disputes. Pakistan reports "significant progress" in talks, while Iran's parliament speaker reaffirmed commitment to the agreement.
