Iran Suspends Islamabad MoU with US Amid Escalating Military Tensions
Iran has announced it is suspending all commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States, citing US violations through continued military strikes. Iranian officials state the MoU, signed last month to halt hostilities, is effectively defunct. The final decision on war or ceasefire rests with Iran's Supreme Leader, with the Supreme National Security Council providing assessments. Iran maintains its retaliatory actions target only US military assets, while accusing the US and Israel of attacks on civilian areas. Negotiations had resumed but collapsed amid escalating tensions.
