Iranian President Pezeshkian says Tehran will ‘immediately’ reciprocate if US returns to June MoU commitments
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran would “immediately” reciprocate if the US returned to its June commitments aimed at ending the conflict. He also accused Washington and Israel of violating international law and warned against renewed regional tensions.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian asserted on Tuesday that Tehran would reciprocate immediately if the United States renews its commitments to a June memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending their conflict. Pezeshkian made these remarks at the 26th Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
The June MoU between the US and Iran, signed by then-US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Pezeshkian, sought to bring an end to the ongoing war. The agreement also established a 60-day negotiation period for a permanent peace settlement. However, tensions escalated again after the US resumed attacks, with the US maintaining a naval blockade of Iranian ports and Iran closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Pezeshkian highlighted Iran's commitment to international agreements while cautioning that unilateral actions, military force, unlawful sanctions, and geopolitical rivalry were destabilizing the region. He emphasized that the attacks on Iran, including strikes on a school and stadium, violated UN principles and international law.
Pezeshkian warned that instability in the region adversely affects all nations and stressed the need for collaboration to achieve economic and security objectives.
