💬 “The memorandum that was signed was the result of the collective wisdom of the Guardian Council’s members, and all its members are in sympathy with it. I believe the MoU will be the center of gravity of our foreign relations in the future,” President Masoud Pezeshkian tweeted Sunday.
💬 “We must strive to compel the enemy to remain committed to what it has signed. The security of the country, the region and our allies will be enhanced by this memorandum,” he added.
Signed June 17 by the US, Iran and mediator Pakistan, the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding was almost universally interpreted as a US surrender or capitulation agreement.
The MoU promised the unfreezing of Iranian assets, sweeping sanctions relief – including on Iranian crude oil exports, a multi-billion-dollar development fund, and left the door open to Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. The nuclear issue, Iran’s missile arsenal, and its Axis of Resistance alliances – all central to US demands in years prior, were left completely untouched.
Trump reneged on the deal July 8, two days after Iran caught and targeted three commercial tankers trying to slip through Hormuz, with fighting resuming.
