Why It Matters
The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the USA and Iran on June 18, 2026, but the process was interrupted due to disagreements.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdulati and Pakistani Foreign Minister Mohammed Ishaq Dar called for resuming the implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum signed between the USA and Iran and reaching a comprehensive agreement.
According to the statement made by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abdulati spoke on the phone with his Pakistani counterpart Dar.
During the meeting, regional issues as well as efforts to control the current tension and restore tranquility were discussed.
Abdulati and Dar emphasized the importance of resuming the implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed between the United States and Iran on June 18, 2026, and reaching a comprehensive and sustainable agreement that will strengthen regional security and stability and prevent the spread of conflict.
The two ministers also agreed to continue consultations and close coordination at the bilateral level and within the framework of the quadrilateral regional mechanism including Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye in the coming period.
Egypt welcomed the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the USA and Iran on June 18 and pointed out the importance of the agreement in terms of reducing tension, preventing a new escalation in the region and restoring security and stability.
However, the process was later interrupted due to disagreements regarding the implementation of the agreement and navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and conflicts started again in July.
In his statement on September 1, Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian stated that if the US administration fulfills its obligations in the memorandum of understanding, Iran will take immediate steps in response.
However, on the same day, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it had launched a new wave of attacks against Iranian military targets and announced that air defense systems, radars, naval elements, mine-laying capabilities and communication centers were targeted in the attacks.
Open Questions
- Can the memorandum of understanding be re-implemented?
- How will CENTCOM attacks affect the process?
