  • Iranian Foreign Ministry: US Fails to Restrain Israel, Violates Memorandum of Understanding

    On June 20, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated that the first clause of the memorandum of understanding, which calls for "ending all wars on all fronts, including Lebanon," is the core pillar of mutual commitment between the parties. While Iran has fulfilled its commitments, the other party should have compelled Israel to cease its military actions in Lebanon; their failure to do so constitutes a clear violation of the agreement. Baghaei noted that although some measures have been taken to lift the maritime blockade and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the memorandum is essentially a "comprehensive package agreement." Violating the first clause raises questions about the entire agreement, and if the other party does not take necessary actions immediately, the entire memorandum will face serious issues.
