Iranian Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman Ebrahim Azizi said Friday that the US failure to uphold the first clause of the Memorandum of Understanding proves it still does not seek the trust of the Iranian people. Azizi warned the US will pay a heavy price, and that Iran's first response will be a 'smart and deterrent' reaction to any breach of the MoU's clauses. According to an Iranian source.
Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman Ebrahim Azizi (Ibrahim Azizi) issued the warning on Friday evening, aligning with a series of increasingly assertive statements by Iranian officials regarding the recently-signed US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding. As The Zioneer previously reported, Foreign Minister Araghchi (June 12), Deputy Chairman Nabavian (June 13), and Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaie (June 15, 18) have all signaled internal dissatisfaction or threatened to abandon commitments if the US does not fulfill its own.
Azizi specifically cited US non-compliance with the MoU's first clause, which reportedly links the agreement's continuation to a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon. The warning that Iran's first response would be 'smart and deterrent' mirrors earlier language from Baghaie, who on June 18 warned that any violation of commitments would be met with Iranian countermeasures.
The statement, circulated via Iranian media channels, comes amid ongoing debate within Tehran's leadership over the terms and viability of the agreement. The Supreme National Security Council has reportedly not yet issued a final decision; any such decision requires the approval of Supreme Leader Khamenei.
