Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Saturday that Iran is suspending all its commitments under the memorandum of understanding with the United States, accusing Washington of having 'trampled all its commitments' under the Islamabad Agreement. The statement, reported by N12's Asaf Rozentzweig, follows Iran's formal announcement of the suspension earlier today.
The new statement from Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, reported by N12's Asaf Rozentzweig, provides a detailed rationale for the suspension that Iran formally announced earlier today. Gharibabadi accused the United States of having 'trampled all its commitments' under the Islamabad Agreement — the memorandum of understanding — and having 'stopped all of them,' thus justifying Tehran's reciprocal suspension of all its obligations.
As The Zioneer reported at 16:07 Jerusalem, the Iranian government issued a broader statement announcing the suspension of all commitments under the MOU, describing the deal as 'dead' and the situation as 'wartime.' The Deputy FM's remarks add a specific official accusation and a direct link to the US actions, rather than a general announcement.
The Islamabad Agreement, reached earlier this year, had been steadily unraveling over recent weeks amid mutual accusations of violations. Iran has issued multiple warnings that any deviation by the US would trigger a suspension. The latest statement signals that the diplomatic track may be effectively closed, though no official withdrawal from the framework has been announced.
