Iran Sends Negotiation Delegation to Switzerland to Monitor US Compliance

Implementation of the Memorandum is a Condition

Kanaani stated that the start of negotiations for a final agreement is contingent upon the fulfillment of the five articles of the memorandum of understanding. The spokesperson said, "This trip is being undertaken to demand and monitor the fulfillment of the other side's obligations because the most important criterion in evaluating any memorandum is the implementation phase."

Unfulfilled US Obligations

According to Article 13 of the memorandum of understanding, the start of final negotiations depends on the US fulfilling its obligations based on Articles 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11. Kanaani indicated that these conditions have not yet been met by the other side and that the trip is to clarify how these obligations will be fulfilled.

Ceasefire in Lebanon is a Fundamental Pillar

Kanaani emphasized that the first article of the memorandum is "ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon," and that this is the fundamental pillar of mutual obligations. Stating that Iran has adhered to its commitments, the spokesperson said the US is obligated to pressure Israel to declare a ceasefire in Lebanon, but has failed to do so, thereby clearly violating the memorandum.

The Integrity of the Memorandum is at Risk

Noting that the violation of the first article means the entire agreement is called into question, Kanaani warned, "If the other side does not take the necessary measures immediately, the entire memorandum will face a serious problem." Kanaani also reiterated that steps have been taken regarding ending the naval blockade and opening the Strait of Hormuz, but stressed that the signed memorandum of understanding is a whole.
