Iranian Foreign Minister: "Mutual Compliance with MOU Is the Only Solution"

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on July 11 (local time) that the only solution to resolve the tensions between Iran and the United States, which are jeopardizing the ceasefire agreement, is the mutual compliance with the previous Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

In a post on social media platform X on the same day, Minister Araghchi asserted, "Iran has kept its promises so far. We are not like the so-called U.S. Treasury Secretary, who is violating Article 9 of the MOU."

He emphasized, "This violation follows other breaches and mistakes committed by the U.S. We must face reality. Mutual compliance (with the MOU) is the only solution."

Article 9 of the previous MOU mentioned by Minister Araghchi states, "The United States and Iran agree to maintain the status quo until a final agreement is reached.

Iran will maintain the current state of its nuclear program, while the United States will not impose new sanctions or deploy additional troops in the region."

Minister Araghchi's remarks came after the United States reinstated sanctions on Iranian crude oil and launched airstrikes on military facilities in response to Iran's attacks on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, followed by President Donald Trump's declaration of the end of the ceasefire with Iran.
