Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday called the US-Iran memorandum of understanding a 'historic document' and a message that peace will be achieved through mutual respect. He added that Tehran remains committed to global peace and regional cooperation while preserving its dignity and independence, according to state-aligned channels. His remarks come as the accord faces potential friction with Israel, which has voiced opposition.
President Pezeshkian's statement — carried by state-aligned channels Thursday afternoon — is the latest in a rapid diplomatic sequence. The US-Iran MoU was finalized and signed overnight Wednesday-Thursday at Versailles by President Trump and later digitally in Tehran by Pezeshkian, as The Zioneer has reported (05:39, 06:22, 09:51 Thursday). The Iranian president's framing stresses mutual respect and Iranian sovereignty, a departure from earlier, more confrontational rhetoric.
Notably, the message from the batch also notes Pezeshkian said: 'Trump will come to his senses or we stand on the threshold of a serious crisis between Israel and the United States' — a sharp warning that ties the accord's viability to US management of Israeli opposition. The claim is attributed directly to the channel's paraphrase.
The Zioneer previously reported (Thu 13:49) that Pezeshkian had said peace would come through mutual respect. Today's remarks extend that theme while adding the conditional warning over Israel. The MoU's backing in Tehran remains rhetorically unified, but Pezeshkian's 'test of seriousness' language — first reported June 15 — now resurfaces in the context of Israeli dissent. What remains unverified: any direct US response to the warning, or any formal Israeli government reaction beyond critical statements preceding the signing.
