Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister said the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding is effectively void, accusing Washington of violations. The statement is the latest in a series of conflicting Iranian signals about the status of the MoU, following similar declarations by other officials earlier Tuesday, according to Iranian media reports.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister stated late Tuesday that the Memorandum of Understanding with the United States is no longer in effect, citing American violations of the agreement. The statement, reported by Iranian media, is the latest in a series of conflicting Iranian signals regarding the status of the MoU.
Earlier Tuesday, the spokesman of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, Ibrahim Raza'i, said the MoU no longer exists, accusing Washington of opening a war (The Zioneer, 19:16). Later that evening, Deputy Foreign Minister Jafari-Abadi declared the 'Islamabad Agreement' void (The Zioneer, 23:18). The new statement, from an unnamed Deputy FM, aligns with the earlier declarations but does not provide additional details on specific violations.
The MoU, signed in Islamabad, has been unraveling over the past weeks amid US military strikes on Iranian targets, disputes over the Lebanon ceasefire clause, and Iranian accusations of non-compliance. The latest statement further underscores the deterioration of the agreement.
The report is based on a single source, and no official confirmation from the US has been issued. The development remains at a 'Developing' confidence level.
