Mutual compliance key to implementing Iran-US accord: Araghchi

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned Washington against continued violations of the Pakistan-brokered truce agreement, saying the deal can only succeed through "mutual compliance."

In a post on his X account early Saturday, Araghchi wrote that Iran "has so far kept its word," contrasting Tehran's conduct with the actions of the US Treasury Secretary.

"Iran has so far kept its word, unlike the so-called US Treasury Secretary who is violating Paragraph 9 of the MoU," the foreign minister said.

He added that the breach follows "other violations and missteps by the United States," stating that Washington's actions undermine confidence in the implementation of the agreement.

Araghchi emphasized that adherence to the memorandum must be reciprocal, concluding his message with the statement, "Reality check: There can only be mutual compliance."

On July 7, the US launched a series of strikes on Iran in response to what it claimed was Tehran’s attacks on several commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, with US Central Command describing Iran’s actions as a “clear violation” of the ceasefire.

The strikes targeted over 80 Iranian sites, including air defense systems and coastal radar positions.

In response to the US strikes, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it targeted 85 American military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait.

President Donald Trump declared on Friday that the ceasefire was "OVER," even as he claimed that Iran had requested continued talks.

"We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

On Friday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei warned that Washington's repeated violations of the June 17 memorandum of understanding will be met with reciprocal action, and that the Islamic Republic's policy remains firmly grounded in the principle of "commitment for commitment."

Iran Foreign Ministry says the Islamic Republic

The war against Iran began on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched a joint aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

On the first day of the war, US and Israeli strikes assassinated Iran's Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and targeted nuclear facilities, military installations, and key infrastructure across the country.

The war, which lasted 40 days, resulted in thousands of casualties and widespread destruction of civilian and scientific infrastructure.

Following Iran's retaliatory strikes and its effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire agreement was reached on April 8.

On June 17, Iran and the US signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding outlining a path toward a final peace deal.

The agreement committed the US to lifting its naval blockade within 30 days, allowed Iran access to frozen assets, and established a 60-day window to negotiate a final agreement.
