Document on the contrary: the US-Iran memorandum will not stop the conflict in the Middle East

Why are the parties still far from concluding a full-fledged peace

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on May 24 that the American side is ready for "very serious negotiations" on the Iranian nuclear program, provided that Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz. It is noted that neither Washington nor Tehran officially disclosed the details of the agreement, however, on Sunday, a U.S. representative announced a preliminary agreement according to which the Strait of Hormuz could be reopened provided that Iran agrees to dispose of its reserves of highly enriched uranium.

US President Donald Trump said on May 23 that the US-Iran deal had been largely agreed upon, and the parties were discussing the final details. The head of the White House added that "in addition to many other elements of the agreement," the Strait of Hormuz will be open to navigation.
