As US-Iran deal falters, experts say this was caused by the MOU text’s vagueness
Experts attribute the faltering US-Iran deal to the vague language in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). A clause regarding the Strait of Hormuz was interpreted by Iran as empowering it to dictate shipping routes and attack vessels that deviate from them, according to US diplomats cited by the New York Times.
