Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaie said Saturday that Iran has upheld its commitments under the memorandum of understanding, and that the United States is obligated to force Israel to stop its attacks on Lebanon, as reported by Israeli Channel 12's foreign desk.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaie reiterated Tehran's position on Saturday, stating that Iran has adhered to its commitments under the memorandum of understanding with the United States, and that Washington is now obligated to compel Israel to cease its military operations in Lebanon. Baghaie's statement, reported by Israeli Channel 12's foreign desk, is the latest in a series of Iranian diplomatic warnings concerning the agreement.
As The Zioneer has previously reported (June 15, 18, 19), Iranian officials — including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and IRGC spokesperson Fatima Mojarahani — have been intensifying a diplomatic campaign calling on the United States to enforce the terms of the MoU, which they interpret as requiring an end to Israeli strikes on all fronts, including Lebanon. The nuclear issue, excluded from the MoU, is to be discussed separately in talks within 60 days of signing. Baghaie's latest remarks add no new operational threats but maintain the pressure on Washington to deliver on what Tehran sees as its primary obligation under the deal.
