MANAMA/TEHRAN: Iran on Monday said it would no longer abide by the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States if Washington failed to uphold its commitments to end the war.
“Each time that the other party has failed to meet its obligations, we did not uphold ours … We will continue to act in this manner,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a press conference in Tehran, following the latest bout of hostilities between the foes.
Baqaei said Tehran was continuing talks with mediators from Qatar, Pakistan and Oman in an effort to prevent any further escalation in its war with the United States.
“The role of the mediators is to continue their efforts to prevent an escalation of tensions,” Baqaei said.
But Iran's Mehr news agency said explosions had been heard around Iran’s Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island early Monday afternoon.
