Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday night that Tehran has no intention of fulfilling its commitments while the other party avoids implementing its own obligations, according to a statement carried on Iranian channels. The spokesman added that Iran will monitor the other side's implementation without compromise and will only act if the other side upholds its commitments.
Iran's Foreign Ministry escalated its rhetoric late Thursday night, with a spokesman stating that Tehran will not proceed with its side of commitments under the emerging understanding with the United States as long as the other party 'evades' implementation. The statement, the latest in a series of Iranian warnings this week, aligns with Tehran's consistent demand — reported by The Zioneer since June 11 — that Washington enforce Israeli compliance in southern Lebanon as a precondition. On Wednesday night, the same spokesman warned that continued IDF operations in southern Lebanon would breach the memorandum of understanding and trigger an Iranian response. The new statement does not explicitly reference Lebanon but echoes the same maximalist posture: Iran will 'monitor without compromise' the other side's implementation. What remains unconfirmed is whether this hardening reflects a genuine breakdown in the US-Iran channel or a negotiating tactic ahead of the 60-day window for nuclear talks referenced in earlier announcements.
