An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said the U.S. must honor its commitments under a memorandum of understanding to ensure regional stability.
This demand comes as Tehran seeks to resolve long-standing disputes regarding its nuclear program and the lifting of economic sanctions. The resolution of these tensions is critical to preventing further escalation in the Middle East, where multiple fronts remain active.
Speaking from the Foreign Ministry headquarters in Tehran, spokesperson Ghaneh said the U.S. side must commit to its pledges [1]. The spokesperson said that Iran intends to achieve five [1] proposed points outlined in the memorandum of understanding.
These points relate to the technical aspects of Iran's nuclear program, and the corresponding relief from sanctions. By fulfilling these specific requirements, Iran aims to restart the diplomatic process that had previously stalled.
Beyond the nuclear file, the spokesperson emphasized the urgency of the situation in Lebanon. Ghaneh said there is a necessity to stop the war on all fronts, specifically highlighting the Lebanese front [1].
Tehran is positioning itself as a mediator and a party to a broader ceasefire agreement. The Iranian government said that a comprehensive end to hostilities is required across all regional theaters to maintain peace [1].
"The American side must commit to its pledges," Ghaneh said [1].
The spokesperson said that the achievement of the five [1] proposed points remains a priority for the Iranian administration as it navigates its current relationship with Washington.
“"The American side must commit to its pledges"”
Iran is attempting to link its nuclear compliance and the lifting of sanctions to a wider regional security framework. By demanding U.S. adherence to a memorandum of understanding while simultaneously pushing for a ceasefire in Lebanon, Tehran is signaling that a diplomatic breakthrough on its nuclear program may be contingent upon a broader cessation of hostilities across the Middle East.
