BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 8. Iran's position on the U.S. hasn't changed.
This was stated by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at a press conference organized by him with reporters in Tehran.
"Iran's position on the U.S. stands tough. There is no doubt about that. In any case, those negotiations, discussions, and diplomacy forced the U.S. to reach an agreement with Iran," he noted.
Pezeshkian said that Iran must protect the achievements made in the field of diplomacy. The other side must act according to the instructions written by Iran and Oman. If they aren't implemented, Iran will also respond. In such cases, a delegation is being formed to resolve the violation of the memorandum of understanding.
"In any case, the process is being monitored. It is hoped that the work will continue for the sake of Iran's pride and honor," he noted.
Meanwhile, the latest escalation in U.S.-Iranian relations began on July 8. On that day, for the first time since the signing of the memorandum between Washington and Tehran, the U.S. military carried out several waves of strikes on Iranian territory, claiming that this was in response to an attack on a merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz. On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the end of the ceasefire with Iran. In response, Tehran began attacking U.S. facilities in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Oman. The Iranian side currently states that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed.
