How the call settles
No US-Iran agreement is concluded in which Iran cedes control/authority over the Strait of Hormuz
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because The only US-Iran agreement concluded, the June 17, 2026 Islamabad MoU, did not cede Iranian authority over the Strait: it waived tolls 'for 60 days only' and deferred 'future administration of the strait' to Iran, Oman and other Gulf states. Iran subsequently re-closed the waterway on June 22 and the truce collapsed July 8, with the US reinstating its blockade on July 14.. Applied stored rule: No US-Iran agreement is concluded in which Iran cedes control/authority over the Strait of Hormuz.
