知情人士，特朗普在安卡拉峯會期間告訴北約盟友，他希望美國留在北約中。

BAGHAEI said the U.S. violated the memorandum of understanding by questioning safe-passage arrangements for ships in the Strait of Hormuz and carrying out “aggressive attacks” on Iran. He said the MOU was not founded on mutual trust but on a “commitment-for-commitment” mechanism; Article 5 assigns Iran responsibility for drafting navigation safety arrangements for the Strait and U.S. unilateral actions challenge that clause. He added Iran will firmly defend its national interests and sovereignty.

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted on social media on July 8 accusing the United States of five serious breaches of an Iran‑US memorandum of understanding: undermining arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz; ongoing threats of further strikes on Iran; reinstating oil sanctions; attacks on southern Iran; and Israel’s continued aggression in Lebanon. Ghalibaf wrote, "The era of bullying and extortion is over. This road won't work. We will not yield." Earlier US forces struck southern Iran.
