Ali Akbar Dareini, a researcher at Tehran’s Center for Strategic Studies, tells Al Jazeera Trump “killed the MoU”, blames US intervention for escalating fighting, and says Iran closed Hormuz and hit ships in self‑defence under agreed passage protocols. Paul Musgrave, an associate professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar and a US foreign policy analyst, tells Al Jazeera diplomacy and conflict over Hormuz are a “test of will and a test of strength”, with both US and Iran risking a wider war by targeting civilian shipping.
