Iranian Foreign Ministry: "U.S. Officials Should Refrain from Contradictory Remarks on End-of-War Agreement"

Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claimed on June 24 (local time) that U.S. officials are making contradictory statements regarding the memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the war.

According to Iran's state-run IRIB broadcaster, Baghaei stated in a press release that day, "The contradictory remarks by U.S. officials regarding the memorandum of understanding to end the war do not reduce the deep distrust of the Iranian people, but rather serve to remind them of past instances where the U.S. has broken its promises."

He further urged, "The U.S. administration must keep in mind that the principle of 'commitment for commitment' requires the fulfillment of mutual obligations, and they should refrain from arbitrary interpretations that are completely at odds with the original text specified in the memorandum."

Baghaei added, "The U.S. administration has never shown sincerity in its attitude toward the Iranian people. Despite this distrust, Iran has engaged in diplomatic processes in good faith and signed the memorandum of understanding to end the imposed war."

Baghaei's criticism appears to be aimed at claims made by U.S. officials that differ from Iran's position on key issues, such as U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that Iran accepted International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nuclear inspections following the signing of the MOU.
