The United States bears the responsibility to end the war “on all fronts, including Lebanon,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday during a call with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Araghchi added that the US would be held responsible for any violation of the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US.

According to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai, the digital signing of the memorandum rendered unnecessary the previously scheduled talks between the U.S. and Iran in Switzerland, which were intended to center on a signing ceremony. However, Baghai indicated that a meeting is being planned for "the coming days."

Multiple international mediators, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt, are set to convene in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the ongoing negotiations, as announced by Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry.

According to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai, the memorandum of understanding was signed digitally on Friday morning. Baghai claimed that the digital signing contributed to the cancellation of talks between the US and Iran scheduled in Switzerland, as the talks were intended to center on a signing ceremony that was no longer needed. However, a meeting is being planned “in the coming days,” Baghai said.

Baghai also addressed and denied reports that Iran had invited the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect its nuclear facilities. He clarified that while inspections of previously accessible sites like Bushehr will continue, facilities where inspections have been forbidden will remain closed to the IAEA pending further agreements.
