Iran’s FM Slams US Violations of MoU

“Iran has so far kept its word, unlike the so-called US Treasury Secretary who is violating Page 9 of the MoU,” the Iranian top diplomat wrote in a post on X.

Araqchi was referring to the move by the US treasury department to impose new anti-Iran sanctions in breach of the MoU commitments.

“That violation follows other violations and missteps by the United States,” he stated.

Earlier, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei emphasized that the Islamic Republic’s policy remains firmly grounded in the principle of “commitment for commitment”.

Speaking in a televised interview Friday night, Baqaei noted that the US has repeatedly violated various clauses of the 14-point memorandum in the 22 days since its signing.

He specifically cited US attacks Iran on Wednesday and Thursday as a gross violation of the memorandum’s first and second clauses, which call for an end to military operations.

He also condemned the revocation of Iran’s oil sales license and the imposition of new sanctions as further flagrant violations of clauses dealing with sanctions relief.

Baqaei stressed that Iran has always made it clear that it will not implement any commitment without a reciprocal action.

“If the other side violates its commitments, which it has, the Islamic Republic of Iran will take the necessary action, and it has done so. This approach will continue in the future,” he said./tasnim
