TEHRAN — An adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader has warned that energy flows across the Middle East could remain halted unless a recently signed agreement between Tehran and Washington is fully implemented, according to remarks reported by Iran’s Mehr news agency. (India Today)
The adviser said that if the U.S.-Iran agreement remains only “on paper” and commitments are not translated into action, disruptions affecting regional energy exports and shipping routes could continue. (India Today)
The warning comes as diplomatic efforts to stabilize relations between Iran and the United States face growing pressure from renewed fighting in Lebanon and tensions surrounding maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil transit corridors. (Reuters)
Iran and the United States recently reached a framework agreement intended to reduce tensions and advance negotiations on broader security and nuclear issues. International leaders welcomed the deal, urging both sides to ensure its rapid implementation. (Reuters)
However, continued regional instability has raised concerns about the future of the agreement. Analysts say any failure to implement its provisions could increase uncertainty in global energy markets and complicate efforts to restore confidence in regional shipping routes. (Reuters)
No immediate response was issued by U.S. officials regarding the latest remarks from Tehran.
