Iran said Saturday that it never trusted the United States and that it developed weapons while working on the memorandum of understanding, according to a report by Israel's ynet. The statement underscores deep mistrust between Tehran and Washington despite the ongoing diplomatic framework.
According to a report by ynet, Iranian officials said Saturday that Tehran never trusted the United States and that it developed weapons while working on the memorandum of understanding. The admission comes as the US-Iran MoU, signed in June, remains in effect. As The Zioneer reported, the full text of the MoU calls for an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts and a $300 billion reconstruction program for Iran, but Iran has repeatedly expressed skepticism about the deal. The statement suggests that Iran continued weapons development parallel to the diplomatic process, though it is unclear whether this violates the MoU's terms.
