Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday that Iran must break free from its exhausting "neither war nor peace" deadlock with the United States.

He stated that every memorandum of understanding encounters violations, noting that a committee should have been formed to address such breaches rather than reigniting warfare.

In terms of the Strait of Hormuz, he said the United States should have followed arrangements established by Iran and Oman, but it failed to comply, and Iran responded, and conflict ensued.
