The article discussed Iran's stance following the end of the memorandum of understanding with the United States. It indicated that the American side considered the agreement to have effectively ended after Iran launched attacks on vessels that deviated from their designated routes, leading to heightened tensions between the two sides. The article pointed out that Iran attempted to solidify control over the Strait of Hormuz to boost its economic and political influence, but the American response and their blockade of ports caused significant economic damage to Iran. This included the destruction of infrastructure and reconstruction costs nearing half a trillion dollars. It further clarified that Iran responded by trying to escalate its position in the region through targeting Gulf countries and Jordan.
