Iran will not carry out its commitments under a memorandum of understanding with the United States as long as Washington fails to meet its own obligations, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday.
Axar.az reports, citing Iran International, Baghaei said the MoU had entered a crisis but argued that Iran had not initiated any breach. He accused the United States of violating several parts of the 14-clause document before a one-month period covering Iran’s Strait of Hormuz commitments had expired.
“As long as the other side remains committed to its obligations, we will carry out ours,” Baghaei said. “Wherever the other side violated its commitments, we also did not implement ours.”
He said Iran would continue withholding its obligations while US violations persisted.
Baghaei also said Iran was seeking a joint mechanism with Oman for the Strait of Hormuz, but US pressure on Muscat had obstructed the effort.
