The Middle East has been rocked by US and Iranian attacks of a scale unseen since an April ceasefire, as fighting over the strategic Strait of Hormuz threatened to derail efforts to permanently end the war.
As the US attacks on Iran continued on Monday, Tehran said it would stop complying with a framework agreement signed in June to halt the fighting if Washington failed to meet its commitments.
It also responded with attacks of its own targeting Gulf nations, with the powerful Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) announcing new strikes on Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Oman.
“There is no doubt that this document is in crisis,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
“Each time that the other party has failed to meet its obligations, we did not uphold ours,” he added.
