Is the Iran-US MoU dead – or are we asking the wrong question?

Just weeks after the US and Iran initiated a 60-day memorandum of understanding, tensions have reignited with attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and retaliatory strikes by US forces. Despite these setbacks, both nations continue to engage in dialogue. This suggests that perhaps the focus should be less on whether the agreement is dead and more on what underlying issues remain unresolved, indicating a complex and evolving relationship rather than a simple breakdown. The situation underscores the need for deeper understanding and more substantial diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of conflict.
