Tehran: (HRNW)- Iranian parliamentarian Hassan Qashqawi has said that international mediators are making efforts to revive the 14-point Islamabad Agreement, which temporarily halted hostilities between Iran and the United States in June.
According to a foreign news agency, Hassan Qashqawi, spokesperson for the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament, said in an interview that mediators are working to reactivate the agreement reached in Islamabad.
He said that the central issue at present is the Strait of Hormuz, adding that discussions are continuing on proposals related to the strategic waterway.
Hassan Qashqawi stated that continuous consultations and negotiations are underway but did not disclose further details.
According to the report, the presidents of Iran and the United States signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding on June 17 under the mediation of Pakistan and Qatar. The agreement included 14 points and outlined a roadmap for negotiations toward a permanent ceasefire.
The memorandum addressed several key issues, including the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s frozen assets, the Iranian nuclear program, and sanctions.
The report added that Iran and the United States held their first direct talks in 40 years in Switzerland, hosted by Pakistan and Qatar. Technical-level discussions later continued in Doha, Qatar, but both sides resumed military actions before the planned third round of talks in Islamabad, with each accusing the other of violating the memorandum.
