The IRGC said it fired missiles and drones at the US Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait and the US Fifth Naval Fleet in Bahrain in retaliation for the second day of US attacks. It threatened further attacks if the agreement is violated again by the “treasonous” US, which, together with Israel, launched an airstrike over Iran on February 28.

The exchange of fire comes after the US engaged ships from the Strait of Hormuz in cooperation with Oman and the International Maritime Organization.

Most of the ships are operated in Omani waters, prompting the IRGC to hit a ship and a tanker with explosives in an attempt to force people to pass through Iranian waters instead.

Speaking to reporters in neighboring Iraq on Sunday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would monitor and control the critical waterway for the next 30 days before allowing all traffic to resume.

He also emphasized the first clause of the June 17 MoU, which states that military operations should end immediately and permanently on all sides, including Lebanon, and urged Washington to pressure Israel to stop. attack in southern Lebanon.

The governments of Israel and Lebanon arrived at US framework agreement Friday which allows Israeli forces to remain in southern Lebanon until Tehran-backed Hezbollah is fully disarmed. This seems to be against the MoU signed with Iran.

Hezbollah quickly to be rejected agreement, calling it “shameful, humiliating and a betrayal” of the Lebanese government.

Negar Mortazavi, a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, said he hoped the Lebanon issue would derail the MoU because Hezbollah was not in the forum and the Lebanese government’s previous commitments to stop war with Israel have been repeatedly violated.

He also told Al Jazeera that Iran has found a great opportunity with the Strait of Hormuz, taking it as a “golden card”, because the disruption of oil exports has affected the markets and made the conflict unpopular with many, including the US.

“They are using this opportunity to not go back to the war before the war, they are pretending that there is no war,” he said, adding that the Iranian authorities and the IRGC have tried to establish the plan. transport coordination through the street.

“They say they want cars to go through with them, and I think they can have that kind of power,” he said.

On Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Spokesman and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and head of the judiciary Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei released a photo of their first tripartite meeting since the war began four months ago.

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen or heard from since succeeding his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli strike on the first day of the war. But a new message written by him on Sunday said: “What is certain is that criminals must be collared and punished for their crimes”.

Supporters of the Islamic Republic cheered the IRGC’s recent threats against US interests as they continued demonstration in the streets From Sunday to Sunday, hard-line politicians and pundits called for more threats until Iran accepted.

In relation to the government, Tamam Rokh, political experts said that Tehran should strengthen its relations with Moscow and Beijing.

“We can do a lot with help from Russia and China to destroy US military equipment in the region such as ships, refueling planes and electronic warfare,” said pro-state expert Ali Samadzadeh on the program on Saturday.

“There was no movement in Tehran to bind Beijing and Moscow to war, and this major flaw exists in the negotiations and the text of the MoU,” he said.

More than 60 hardline lawmakers on Sunday suspended plans to protest the parliament’s shutdown since the start of the war as the ruling committee said it would reconvene to reconvene the session, following Ali Khamenei’s funeral next month.

Many others say that the demands for a large-scale withdrawal from the US and Israel do not match the situation after months of war.

“In terms of military power, we would not have done anything about the US blockade and we did not think the problem would be so serious,” government commentator Vahid Ashtari told a crowd at a public rally in Tehran.

“I think there is a kind of blind mentality that believes that we are at the top and at the peak, so we don’t have to make an agreement. But there are facts on the ground. We have missiles and drones to ensure adequate security, but we don’t have warplanes to fly to the US and hit Trump. It’s not that we can’t avenge (Khasem looked again at Qamenei) Soleimani, who was killed by the US in 2020.

After two days of attacks, Iran’s financial markets recovered, with the country’s currency loss of profit since the signing of the MoU to sell about 1.7 million rials against the dollar in Tehran’s open market on Sunday.

The main index of the Tehran Stock Exchange lost more than 100,000 points to stand at more than five million points at the end of trading on Sunday, the second day of the working week in Iran.

Vahid, a 37-year-old mechanic who also works on auto parts in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, told Al Jazeera that although the market has made some progress since the signing of the agreement with the US, it is still treading on thin ice.

He said parts for foreign cars are becoming harder to come by, while prices have been skyrocketing for domestic and foreign cars.

“I think the battle will resume in the coming months and some in the market are thinking the same thing,” he said.
