MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Tehran would fulfill its obligations under the agreement with the United States if Washington fulfilled its own. «If the American side complies with the agreement, we will also fulfill our obligations. Our approach to reckless saber-rattling and baseless threats is to rely on rationality and human dignity in decision-making, and when the time comes to act, to defend ourselves decisively and fearlessly,» the media quoted Pezeshkian as saying. Iran and the United States signed a memorandum remotely on the night of June 18, which envisages an end to the military conflict that had begun on February 28. The memorandum also sets a timeline for when the United States will lift the naval blockade and Iran will restore shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, Iran has committed to refraining from acquiring nuclear weapons, with the future of its nuclear program to be addressed through a separate agreement. The parties have agreed to initiate talks on this matter within 60 days. For Tehran, the ultimate objective remains the full lifting of sanctions.
