agreement…These words made headlines across the world when Trump signed the MoU with trembling hands at the G-7 summit. Trump had said at the same time that this is not easy but what he meant was that signing the agreement is not easy. They forgot that the agreement is being made with Iran which is not easy to overcome. Now Iran withdrew from this MoU and closed Hormuz once again because Iran says that the MoU was not implemented. His argument is that Israel did not stop attacks on Lebanon. This was a violation of the very first condition of the agreement. That is why Hormuz is closed again and the sound of the third phase of the great war has again echoed in Arabia.
A historic agreement was reached between America and Iran but it broke within 36 hours, after which clouds of tension are once again looming in West Asia. Under the peace agreement, the Strait of Hormuz opened for trade from today. According to the agreement, it was decided that Iran would not collect any tax or toll on Hormuz for the first 60 days, but this suddenly became history.
No ship should make the mistake of crossing Hormuz: IRGC
IRGC announced closure of Hormuz in the evening. IRGC said that no ship should make the mistake of crossing Hormuz. Hormuz was closed due to attacks on Lebanon. Trump said that Iran will not get any money now. Trump threatened that Iran is completely destroyed. Iran has already said that it is not going to give up its control over Hormuz and will take all future decisions together with the Sultanate of Oman.
Iran had said that under international maritime law, it will charge maritime service fees from ships passing through Hormuz. Iran will prepare a blueprint for service fees with Oman within these 60 days. According to Iran, ships will have to pay service fees for services like security, environmental protection and navigation management. For this, Iran has already formed the Persian Gulf Strait Authority.
PGSA will decide the limits of the management supervision area. Permit will be required to pass through the supervision area. Then movement of ships will be possible. This model of Iran is the most sensitive issue of this entire agreement. There are already two different views on this issue in America. US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have already said that under international maritime laws, the Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway, where the rule of free passage applies.
Saudi Arabia and UAE are protesting
The shipping industry and America’s Gulf allies like Saudi Arabia and UAE are strongly opposing it. He says that if Iran is allowed to collect money, it will set a dangerous example for the rest of the world’s waterways. On the other hand, America had given such indications, according to which a system like VIP lane on the Strait of Hormuz can be considered in collaboration with Iran.
After the signing of the agreement, JD Vance has said that the Strait of Hormuz should never again become a chokepoint for the global economy, but it returned to its old position just hours after the agreement. On the other hand, Iran will discuss with everyone keeping in mind international law and the sovereignty of the countries adjacent to Hormuz. Will hold talks with the Sultanate of Oman to decide the future administrative model in Hormuz.
A new administrative system will be created in Hormuz
That means Trump also agrees with Iran’s idea that a new administrative system will be created in Hormuz. With the opening of Hormuz, America removed the naval blockade. 12.5 million barrels of oil passed through Hormuz on the first day of its opening. Due to increase in oil supply, oil prices also fell, but the news coming from the night of 18-19 June started indicating that the deal could turn into no deal at any time.
Suddenly Iran canceled its tickets for Switzerland talks. After that a landmine barrier was placed on Hormuz. The biggest reason for this step of Iran is Israel’s ongoing attacks on Lebanon. According to a report, the issue of Lebanon is the most important link in this entire deal. Unless Israel stops attacks in southern Lebanon. Iran will not sit at the negotiating table. Iran has considered this a violation of the first condition of the agreement.
Under the agreement, there was a rule that military action would be stopped immediately on all fronts, but just before the Switzerland talks, Israel carried out massive air strikes in southern Lebanon, in which many people were killed. The opening of Hormuz was the first condition for the agreement between Iran and America. The nuclear program was to be discussed only after this in the talks to be held in Switzerland, but now this situation has completely changed. Once again the world is on the brink of a Great Depression and the Arabs are on a pile of gunpowder.
