Iran has warned it will no longer consider itself bound by its agreement with the United States if Washington continues to violate its commitments under the deal, state TV reported on Saturday.
Referring to the deal struck with the help of Pakistani mediation, Tehran’s UN ambassador said 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 deal was reached after an April ceasefire aimed at ending hostilities, but recent exchanges of fire between the two countries over the Strait of Hormuz have threatened efforts to reach a lasting resolution to the conflict.
Following the latest escalation, US President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over but said negotiations 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.
