Iran says U.S. violates trust with contradictory statements on deal

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei accused the United States of undermining trust through contradictory statements about a memorandum of understanding. He emphasized that Iran entered the diplomatic process in good faith, despite a history of perceived U.S. insincerity.

“

Contradictory statements by American officials about the memorandum to end the imposed war will not reduce the accumulated distrust of Iranians and will only remind of previous broken obligations.

Baqaei stated on X that the U.S. must respect the "obligation for obligation" principle, adhering to the explicit text of the agreement. He warned that contradictory U.S. statements would not diminish Iranians' accumulated distrust and would only recall previous broken commitments.

“

The American authorities must keep in mind that the principle of 'obligation for obligation' requires both sides to fulfill their obligations and avoid interpretations that are completely contrary to the explicit text of the memorandum of understanding.

His remarks followed U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that Iran had agreed to allow IAEA nuclear inspectors into the country, with American inspectors joining them. Trump also asserted that Iran was making significant concessions, describing the ongoing situation as going "very, very, very strongly."

“

Iranians know that the enmity of the enemy will not end by signing one agreement and will take every step with caution, keeping in mind the experiences of the past five decades, especially the events of the last year and a half.
