Iran Urges U.S. to Honor MoU Amid Escalating Tensions
Iran’s president said the U.S. must keep its promise from a deal signed on June 18, 2024.
He wants the U.S. to follow the agreement to keep the region safe.
Iran’s defense minister said the country will not be passive if it feels threatened.
The U.S. president posted that the U.S. is ready to act but has agreed to wait for a deal.
Both sides have been sending messages on social media, and there have been recent attacks on ships and bases in the area.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian urged the U.S. to adhere to the June 18 MoU.
Iran’s Acting Defense Minister Seyed Majid Ebn Al-Reza warned the country would not be passive against perceived threats.
U.S. President Donald Trump posted that the U.S. was “locked and loaded” but had agreed to hold off pending a deal.
The MoU calls for negotiations within 60 days, but tensions have risen after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure.
Recent U.S. military strikes targeted Iranian vessels and facilities, prompting Iran to launch missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases.
