Iran warns it will not be bound by a US-Iran agreement meant to end the conflict if the United States continues to violate its obligations, Iranian state media and officials say. In a statement reported by Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, Iran’s UN ambassador says that if Washington continues breaching the “Islamabad Understanding,” Tehran will no longer consider itself committed to the deal. Separately, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson says Iran would not comply with the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the US in June if Washington keeps failing to meet its commitments, and says Iran repeatedly did not uphold obligations when the other party fell short. The warning comes amid renewed tensions after an April ceasefire. Multiple sources say recent exchanges of fire, particularly over the Strait of Hormuz, threaten talks laid out under the deal aimed at reaching a permanent resolution. Iranian officials also argue the US violated its obligations through “large-scale military attacks” affecting Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Iran further cites US pressure on Oman as hindering efforts to agree on a joint mechanism for managing the Strait of Hormuz.

1 month agoTEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — Iran warned that it would no longer be bound by a deal with the United States (US) aimed at ending the Middle East war if Washington's violations of the agreement continued, state TV reported on Saturday. Referring to the deal struck with the help of Pakistani mediation, Tehran's UN ambassador said in remarks in New York on Friday "that if the United States continues to violate its obligations under the Islamabad Understanding, Iran will no longer consider itself bound by its commitments under that understanding", according to a statement carried by state broadcaster IRIB. The Iran-US deal was preceded by an April ceasefire, but the two sides have exchanged significant fire in recent days over the Strait of Hormuz, threatening talks laid out under the deal aimed at finding a permanent resolution to the war. Following the exchanges, US President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over, but said talks with Iran would continue. In his remarks to reporters on Friday, Iranian UN representative Amir Saeid Iravani said Washington had "violated its obligation by launching and continuing large-scale military attacks against Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity". "Iran remains committed to the faithful implementation of (the) Memorandum of Understanding provided that the United States fully and faithfully complies with its own obligations," he added.
