Iran says it will quit US‑Iran memorandum if US continues breaches

Iranian UN representative warned, "If the United States continues to violate its obligations, Iran will no longer comply with the memorandum of understanding." This follows the United States‑Iran memorandum that aimed to halt hostilities.

U.S. officials, including Vice President James D. Vance, the chief American negotiator, have been singled out as potentially responsible for any collapse of the deal. The memorandum has stalled over disagreements on linking the Lebanon issue to a cease‑fire mechanism and on control of the Strait of Hormuz. Recent U.S. strikes and Iranian retaliatory attacks around the strait have heightened doubts about the cease‑fire’s durability. A source quoted the former U.S. official saying, "It is Vance who may lose the most … the memorandum looks set to fail, and the responsibility lies with him."
