Iran has suspended its commitments in the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was reached last month, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported, citing the country’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi.
"The U.S. has violated and suspended all its commitments within the framework of the Islamabad MoU," Gharibabadi told the news agency. “We have also suspended our commitments, we are not implementing them, and we are busy defending the country.”
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has called on Iran and the US to adhere to the MoU, Al Arabiya English reported. The minister urged the two countries to avoid escalation.
The Iranian declaration comes after US Central Command’s latest wave of airstrikes against Iran, which took place Friday night. The US hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage facilities and maritime capabilities.
Centcom has also fully enforced a naval blockade against Iranian ports.
