Iran Vows Immediate Response if US Upholds June Interim Deal
Iran's president says Tehran will immediately reciprocate if the US honours its commitments under the June interim deal.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Tehran will respond immediately if the United States returns to its commitments under the interim agreement signed in June. The remarks were made on Tuesday during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Bishkek, as reported by the Iranian Student News Agency.
Pezeshkian's statement signals a conditional openness to reciprocal action, tying Iran's next steps directly to US compliance with the terms of the understanding. The June deal, which has been a focal point of diplomatic engagement, now appears to hinge on mutual adherence to its provisions.
The president's comments come amid ongoing international scrutiny of the agreement's implementation. By framing Iran's response as immediate, Pezeshkian appears to be underscoring Tehran's readiness to match any US moves, while also placing the onus on Washington to act first.
No further details on the specific commitments or the timeline for potential reciprocal measures were provided in the report.
