‘REALITY CHECK’:
Tehran has ‘kept its word,’ unlike the US, which keeps violating the MOU, Iranian minister Abbas Araghchi said, insisting mutual compliance is needed
AFP, TEHRAN
Iran yesterday insisted it had “kept its word” on a ceasefire with Washington, after US President Donald Trump insisted the truce was over, but that he had agreed to further negotiations with the Islamic Republic.The comments mark a new low in relations between the foes, after an exchange of fire this week rocked a shaky agreement aimed at turning the months-long ceasefire into durable peace and threatened a return to full-scale regional war.Trump ramped up the rhetoric between the warring sides yesterday, threatening in a Truth Social post to “completely decimate” Iran if it attempted or succeeded in assassinating him.
