BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 20. In the coming hours,
an Iranian negotiating team will travel to Switzerland to hold
talks with the U.S. side.
The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Ismail Baghai
said in a statement to local media.
"Iran's negotiating team will travel to Switzerland to hold
talks with the US side. The purpose of the visit is to demand that
the other side fulfill its obligations," he said.
According to him, discussions to reach a final agreement will
begin if the obligations stipulated in clauses 1, 4, 5, 10 and 11
of the memorandum of understanding are fulfilled and continued.
Baghai said that at the current time, this situation is not
observed. The Iranian delegation intends to determine during the
visit how the other side will fulfill its obligations.
"If even a small part of the memorandum of understanding is not
implemented, the entire agreement faces an unknown situation. The
Iranian side has fulfilled its obligations and expects the other
side to fulfill its obligations as well. Israel's failure to
implement the ceasefire in Lebanon is a clear violation of my
memorandum of understanding," he noted.
The Foreign Ministry official added that the Iranian side did
not sign commitments that will not be implemented. These
commitments were signed after several weeks of intense discussions
and the efforts of mediators. Naturally, the Iranian side will make
every effort to implement them.
As the US and Iran failed to reach concrete results regarding
their nuclear program, the US and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran on February 28, and Iran has been firing
missiles and drones at Israel and US facilities in the region since
that day. A ceasefire agreement was reached between the parties on
April 7, mediated by Pakistan.
A peace memorandum was signed between Iran and the United States
on June 18. The memorandum was signed by Iranian President Massoud
Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump. The memorandum came into
effect on June 19.
