According to CoinMeta, Mohammad Rezaei, the military advisor to Iran's supreme leader, stated that the United States had accepted Iran's arrangements regarding the Strait of Hormuz under the framework of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, but subsequently violated that agreement. He pointed out that the US not only violated the memorandum of understanding but also launched attacks without first submitting the dispute to the designated dispute resolution committee. During the 17 days of fighting following the violation of the memorandum of understanding, Iran dealt a heavy blow to the United States.
