Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian defended a memorandum of understanding signed by U.S. President Donald Trump in June, calling it the best route beyond what he described as a state of neither war nor peace. The 60-day deadline for ending the war with Iran and reaching a nuclear accord expired last week, while Tehran and Washington remain divided, including over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. Pezeshkian said the agreement could help reduce economic risk and attract investment. Mohsen Rezaei, the new head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned that Iran would retaliate in a seismic manner and could target oil-shipping routes outside the Strait of Hormuz if neighboring countries support U.S. economic pressure. Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir was scheduled to lead a delegation to Tehran on Monday as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation and promote de-escalation. Separately, Iran executed Majid Adineh in a case linked to protests, while violence continued in the occupied West Bank, where a Palestinian man said an Israeli settler beat him and Israel's military pursued a suspect in a stabbing attack.
