Iran threatens to abandon agreements if US defaults on obligations

Iran has declared it will cease adhering to agreements if the United States does not fulfill its own obligations, escalating tensions between the two nations.

Esmaeil Baqaei, a spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, stated at a press conference in Tehran that Iran's non-compliance would mirror any breaches by the other party. This declaration follows recent military actions between the two adversaries.

Earlier, the US military announced it had initiated a new series of strikes against targets within Iran. The stated objective of these strikes is to curtail Iran's capacity to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard reported that it had targeted US military installations and bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

The exchange of actions and declarations highlights the ongoing conflict and the precarious state of international agreements in the region.

Every time the other party did not fulfill its obligations, we did not fulfill ours (...) We will continue to do so.
