Efforts underway to revive June US-Iran deal: Iranian MP

Published Updated

An Iranian lawmaker said that mediators were seeking to revive a deal that briefly halted the war between Iran and the United States in June, reports AFP.

Hassan Ghashghavi, spokesman for parliament’s national security commission, said in a video interview that “there is an effort underway to revive the 14-point Islamabad agreement, particularly by the mediators”.

“They know that the main issue and, in fact, the key to the matter right now is the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, so yes, there is an exchange of views,” he said.
