Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated Tehran doesn’t plan to engage in talks with the US and is currently only focusing on defending its country.
In an interview with reporters, Esmaeil Baghaei reiterated the commitments, stating that Iran would honour its international commitments on the conditions if the US also did the same.
Baghaei said, “Our commitments remain in effect only as long as the other side fulfills its pledges.”
He further added that Iran abandoned its commitments under the MoU after the US failed to uphold its side of the temporary agreement, saying, “After the other party violated its obligations, we also refrained from implementing ours in any area where it was required.”
