Outlets disagree on this: Brigadier General Javani stated the Strait of Hormuz will only fully reopen when Washington implements the MoU commitments, while Iran (via Jerusalem Post/Reuters) also asserted that point 5 of the MoU gives Iran the right to manage the waterway—a position Washington explicitly rejected, indicating the two sides hold incompatible interpretations of the MoU's terms regarding Strait control.
