Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated Wednesday that Tehran will suspend its commitments under the memorandum of understanding if the other side violates it, according to a report by Israel's Channel 12. He reiterated that Iran has no plans for negotiations at this stage and that any attack on Iranian territory will be met with a response.
The statement by Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, reported by Israel's Channel 12, reinforces Tehran's position that it will not engage in negotiations while under what it views as aggression. Baqaei specifically warned that the mutual commitments in the memorandum of understanding are conditional: any violation by the other side will trigger a suspension of Iran's own commitments. This is the latest in a series of statements by Iranian officials in recent weeks, reflecting a hardening stance. The Zioneer has previously reported similar warnings from Baqaei and Foreign Minister Araghchi. There is no indication of any change in Iran's operational posture.
