Iran Says 60-Day US Negotiation Period Lost Relevance Amid Alleged Violations
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei stated that the 60-day negotiation period outlined in the June memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States is no longer relevant due to what Iran describes as widespread US violations. Baqaei emphasized that the MoU did not set a strict deadline and that Iran does not base its policies on external pressure or ultimatums. He noted that direct negotiations did not commence as planned, and highlighted ongoing regional security discussions, including talks with Oman on maritime transit.
