Tehran
Iran’s Foreign
Ministry declared Monday that the memorandum of understanding signed with the
United States in Islamabad has “practically ended,” warning that all
American bases in the region fall within Iran’s target bank.
FM spokesperson
Esmaeil Baqaei said in a press conference that the Islamabad memorandum, signed
on June 17, has entered a state of crisis as Washington is gutting various
provisions of the agreement’s 14 articles from the very first days of its
signing.
On the Strait
of Hormuz, Baqaei held Washington directly responsible for the latest
incidents, saying the United States was attempting to bypass the safe
navigation route coordinated with Iran. The memorandum was drafted in precise
terms specifically because of Iran’s “justified suspicion and complete
distrust” of the United States, leaving no room for unilateral
interpretation, he said.
“Commitment
for commitment, as long as the other side persists in violating its
commitments, Iran will likewise refrain from carrying out its obligations,”
he warned, adding that Tehran target US bases, facilities, and positions used
to launch attacks against it, including American logistical infrastructure, and “has not attacked, and will not attack, any country
in the region.”
Iran will use
all available international means to document what Baqaei described as crimes
committed against the Iranian people and pursue justice.
On the nuclear
file, the country will not grant IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi access to
its nuclear facilities, Baqaei confirmed.
