Iran suspends MoU commitments after repeated US violations: Deputy FM

Iran has suspended its commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in response to the United States violating its obligations by resuming its aggression against Iranian territory, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi has said. Gharibabadi said on Saturday that Washington had effectively abandoned all of its commitments under the agreement signed last month, prompting the Islamic Republic to halt the implementation of its own obligations. Regarding the future of negotiations with the United States, he said Tehran had been engaged in talks before Washington breached its commitments and resumed its aggression against the country last week. "What lies before us now is the resolute defense of the country and teaching the aggressors a lesson," he said, adding that the United States had already received a firm response and had learned that it would not achieve its objectives through acts of aggression. "If they are wise, they should choose other approaches," he added.

Iran has responded with several rounds of drone and missile strikes against US military assets across the region. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X that the armed forces will defend every inch of the country and stand firm against continued US aggression.
