Simultaneously with new U.S. attacks on the southern coastal strip of Iran and the announcement of the resumption of the maritime blockade of this country by CENTCOM, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister stated that the main framework of the agreement between Tehran and Washington has been completely destroyed and that there is no longer anything under the title of the Islamabad Agreement.
