On Monday, Iran's President Pezeshkian announced $6 billion of frozen Qatari assets will be released — the MOU's first concrete financial delivery. Iran and Oman held their first joint working group meeting on Hormuz 'future management.' Iran declared it will handle Strait demining unilaterally, rejected parallel routes, and insisted all ships follow the 'Iranian route.' Israeli Defense Minister Katz told a closed-door briefing that Israel has selected targets in Iran and is ready for an independent strike — 'tomorrow.' The market priced the financial delivery: oil plummeted, the dollar slid. The MOU's procedural framework is running on Pezeshkian's money and the Iranian route. The MOU's operational implementation is being run by Iran on Iran's terms.

On Monday, the US and Iran both said the kinetic activity had stopped — and then issued conflicting statements about Doha. Trump wrote that Iran had 'requested a meeting' that would take place 'tomorrow' in Doha. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei said no meeting was scheduled. Israel's Defense Minister Katz warned a new war could erupt 'within 48 hours' if Iran fires missiles at Israel. Iran's $6 billion in frozen Qatari assets is on the table. The MOU's procedural framework is now running on two parallel tracks: the US-Iran technical track in Doha, and the Israel-Hezbollah operational track in southern Lebanon. Both tracks are, on Monday, structurally tested by their own internal contradictions.

On Sunday, the US and Iran agreed to halt all kinetic activity and resume peace talks in Doha on Tuesday. The deal had survived its first strike-for-strike cycle. Oman stepped in diplomatically with Macron to support demining and Hormuz safe passage. Republicans, per Axios, began turning against Netanyahu. Rubio intervened to bring the US back to 'sanity' on Lebanon. Dubai airport received its first flight from Tehran since the war began. The MOU's first weekend of mutual strikes ended with the parties agreeing to keep talking — and a market priced the renewed dialogue at oil below $70.

On Friday, CENTCOM conducted strikes on Iranian missile sites, drone storage, and radar installations on Sirik Island. The same day, Trump posted that 'there will come a moment when we will no longer restrain ourselves... if it reaches that point, the Islamic Republic of Iran will cease to exist.' Israel, the US, and Lebanon signed a new framework agreement in Washington. Hezbollah's Qassem rejected the framework as 'null' and 'humiliation.' The Wall Street Journal reported US-Iran technical talks in Switzerland were halted. The MOU's procedural framework, on Friday, was structurally tested against the most inflammatory US presidential statement of the war.

On Thursday, Iran attacked the Singapore-flagged cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely near the Oman coast in the Strait of Hormuz. Minor damage, no casualties. The same day, Ghalibaf publicly mocked US claims that Iran's unfrozen funds would be used to buy American farm products. By Friday, CENTCOM conducted strikes on Iranian missile sites, drone storage, and radar installations on Sirik Island — the first US strikes since the MOU was signed. The MOU's procedural framework is running on a procedural clock. The operational ground is running on a strike-for-strike clock.
