  • Iran's Foreign Minister stated Tehran has upheld its word on a ceasefire with the United States.
  • The statement comes after former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed the truce was over but agreed to further negotiations.
  • Iran's minister accused the U.S. Treasury Secretary of violating a memorandum of understanding regarding regional troop deployment.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asserted on Saturday that Tehran has honored its commitment to a ceasefire with the United States. His statement follows remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who declared the truce ended but indicated a willingness to continue negotiations with Iran.

Araghchi took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice his position. He specifically referenced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two nations. "Iran has so far kept its word, unlike the so-called US Treasury Secretary who is violating Para 9 of the MoU," Araghchi posted.

The minister's comments highlight ongoing tensions and differing interpretations of agreements between Iran and the United States. The specific clause mentioned in the MoU pertains to the non-deployment of additional U.S. forces in the region, an aspect Araghchi claims the U.S. Treasury Secretary is violating.

Iran has so far kept its word, unlike the so-called US Treasury Secretary who is violating Para 9 of the MoU.
