JAKARTA - Iran has confirmed that it will not implement the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States last month after Washington violated it.
"The other parties not only failed to implement it, but also violated it and acted contrary to the content and spirit of the agreement," said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Monday, July 20, reported by CNN.
"We also stated that we would not implement it. It is very clear," said Baghaei.
He stressed that the agreement - which aims to protect Iran's interests - contains reciprocal commitments with Washington, and once the US violates it, implementation by Tehran becomes practically impossible.
"In my opinion, whatever the term used, the status of this document is now clear," he said.
Responding to a question about how Iran would react if Washington asked for further negotiations, Baghaei hinted that talks were still possible. He said that as the war served to "protect" Iran's interests, negotiations were another means of achieving the same goal.
According to him, the mediators have sent another proposal to Tehran even though tensions are still ongoing, but he refused to elaborate. Qatar and Pakistan have played a role as mediators between Iran and the US.
