Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi stated that Washington bears the responsibility for implementing the Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding with Tehran.
Speaking in separate phone calls on Monday with his counterparts from Turkey, Iran, Egypt and Japan, Hakan Fidan, Fuad Hussein and Badr Abdelatty and Toshimitsu Motegi, Araqchi discussed the process and provisions of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding.Referring to the responsibility of the United States in implementing the accord, the top Iranian diplomat emphasized the need for a complete halt to the destabilizing acts and the Israeli attacks against Lebanon.He also expressed gratitude for the positions and roles of Turkey, Iraq, and Egypt in supporting the establishment of a ceasefire, reducing tensions, and pursuing diplomatic endeavours to achieve regional stability and security.
Iran and the United States, following the announcement of a ceasefire in early April, began negotiations to permanently end the war with Pakistan's mediation.The text of the announced memorandum of understanding — based on Iran's 14-point proposal from the very beginning of the ceasefire — was reviewed multiple times over the past 60 days in the capitals of both countries. Tehran and Washington each, at various stages, applied and announced their perspectives on the text.Following the signing of this memorandum, the two countries will place a series of intensive negotiations on their agenda over the next 60 days to reach a comprehensive accord on disputed issues.
During his conversation with the Japanese counterpart, Araqchi explained the most important provisions of the memorandum of understanding and expressed hope that its implementation would mark the beginning of a new chapter of economic cooperation and investment between the two countries.Toshimitsu Motegi, in turn, welcomed the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, describing it as an important step toward resolving regional crises, and emphasizing the necessity of its precise implementation.
