  "account": "Iranian affairs expert Aref Nasr revealed that Iran has plans to justify its return to the memorandum of understanding with the United States. In an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Nasr stated that Iran has devised a strategy to create pretexts for reinstating the agreement. Following the war, Iran established a unique defense mechanism that enables each faction to operate independently of central leadership, though he emphasized that there is a broader strategy guiding these factions. Nasr explained that Iran's approach involves distributing tasks and entrusting supreme authority to the Supreme Leader, which effectively diminishes the role of the Iranian presidency. In summary, Iran aims to return to the 14-article memorandum of understanding. Although Iran has persistently delayed negotiations with the US, economic hardships and the American embargo have compelled Tehran to reassert its demand to revive the 14-article agreement. Iran had previously terminated the arrangement by presenting alternative interpretations of its clauses.",
