  • Iran warns it will no longer be bound by a recent agreement if the U.S. violates its terms.
  • The warning comes amid ongoing tensions and recent clashes between the two nations.
  • The agreement, brokered by Pakistan, aimed to end a conflict in the Middle East.

Tehran, Iran โ€“ Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, issued a stern warning that Tehran will cease to abide by a recent agreement if the United States continues to violate its terms. The statement, made after a UN Security Council session, directly addresses ongoing disputes and recent military engagements.

Iravani stated that if Washington persists in breaching its obligations under the "Islamabad Understanding," Iran will consider itself released from its commitments. This agreement, reached in early April and formalized through a memorandum of understanding on June 17, was intended to serve as the basis for formally ending a conflict in the Middle East. Key provisions included an immediate and permanent cessation of all military actions and a commitment to refrain from initiating any war or military operations against each other.

If the United States continues to violate its obligations under the 'Islamabad Understanding,' Iran will no longer consider itself bound by the commitments made under that understanding.

However, recent exchanges of fire near the Strait of Hormuz have jeopardized the fragile truce. Despite U.S. President Trump's announcement of ending the ceasefire, negotiations between the two nations are reportedly set to continue. Iravani accused Washington of launching "large-scale military attacks" against Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity, deeming these actions a violation of U.S. obligations.

Iran maintains that it will continue to fulfill its obligations under the memorandum of understanding, provided the United States thoroughly and faithfully honors its own commitments. The warning highlights the deep mistrust and volatile nature of the relationship between Iran and the United States.

Washington has launched and continues to launch large-scale military attacks on Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity, violating its obligations.
