Morocco has expressed its support for the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, highlighting its importance for strengthening the ceasefire and ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a statement from the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The statement, issued on June 15, 2026, calls on all parties to respect their commitments under the agreement. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint through which about 20% of the world's oil passes, making its security vital for global energy markets.
Morocco's position aligns with its longstanding advocacy for diplomatic solutions in the Middle East. The kingdom has previously mediated regional disputes and maintains balanced relations with both Western and Middle Eastern nations.
No further details on the specific terms of the memorandum were provided in the Moroccan statement. The US and Iran have not officially commented on Morocco's endorsement as of June 16, 2026.
