Iran's Supreme Leader: US President's signature is worthless, citing repeated MOU violations

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has strongly criticized the United States, declaring that agreements signed by the U.S. president are untrustworthy and lack value. His remarks came hours after Iran announced it was suspending all obligations under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), citing repeated violations by the U.S.

The U.S. president’s signature is worthless and unreliable.

In a statement released to Iranian media, Khamenei stated that the U.S. has "repeatedly violated" agreements, thus proving "how worthless and unreliable the signature of the U.S. president is." This assertion was echoed by Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, who declared that Iran would cease all its commitments under the MOU because the U.S. had allegedly broken its promises first.

Arbitrariness, hegemony, and barbarism are the essence of the United States.

Khamenei further characterized the U.S. as the "Great Satan," attributing "arbitrariness, hegemony, and barbarism" to its essence. He accused the U.S. of inciting war and seeking greater repercussions, asserting that the Iranian people and the "axis of resistance" are prepared to teach them an unforgettable lesson.

The Iranian people and the axis of resistance are already prepared to teach them an unforgettable lesson.

Addressing both the public and government officials, Khamenei called for "sacred solidarity and unity" to counter U.S. "deception." He emphasized the importance of continued trust and cohesion among officials from the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. While acknowledging the value of constructive criticism within the system, he cautioned that such critiques should not undermine social unity or expose weaknesses to adversaries.

“

We must maintain trust and cohesion among officials of the three branches of government to counter the United States' deceptive tactics.
