Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tuesday morning that negotiations on a final agreement with the United States will not begin as long as threats continue, referencing Article 13 of the memorandum of understanding, according to N12. The statement was made against the backdrop of an Israeli strike in the Strait of Hormuz overnight.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a statement Tuesday morning tying the start of final nuclear talks to the cessation of threats, explicitly invoking Article 13 of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding. The remarks follow an Israeli strike in the Strait of Hormuz overnight, which Araghchi framed as a violation of the agreement. Araghchi has previously stated that negotiations on a comprehensive agreement will begin only after the MOU is signed, and has repeatedly warned against violations of the agreement. The latest statement, reported by N12, reinforces his consistent position and signals Tehran's insistence on the MOU's diplomatic framework as a precondition for broader talks. Details of the overnight strike were not disclosed in the report.
