Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday morning that US and Israeli violations of the memorandum of understanding—particularly its first article—are preventing the restoration of regional security. He stated that Tehran seeks to implement the MOU in good faith based on the principle of 'commitment for commitment' but will take firm measures against any violation by the other side, according to his remarks published via Iranian channels.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday accused the United States and Israel of violating the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran, particularly its first article, thereby blocking the restoration of regional security. Speaking via Iranian state-linked channels, Araghchi stated that Tehran approached implementation in good faith under the principle of "commitment for commitment" but warned of firm countermeasures against any breach. The remarks follow a series of warnings from Araghchi in recent weeks: on June 12, he cautioned that failure to meet first-phase commitments would halt progress to the next phase, and on June 16, he described any Israeli attack on Lebanon or continued presence in occupied territories as a violation of the MOU. The latest statement does not specify which US or Israeli actions are being cited as violations, nor does it indicate whether Iran considers the MOU still in force or under review. The broader framework—a 14-point understanding whose final text is not yet solidified—deferred nuclear talks to a 60-day window. No immediate response from Washington or Jerusalem has been reported.
