BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 2. Iranian President
Masoud Pezeshkian has described the signed memorandum as a key
document that will guide the country’s foreign policy in the years
ahead.
“The memorandum that was signed is the result of the collective
wisdom of the Shura Council’s members, and all members are in
agreement with it,” Pezeshkian wrote on his X page.
He said he believes the memorandum “will become the center of
gravity of our foreign relations in the future.”
According to the president, Iran should work to ensure that “the
enemy remains committed to what it has signed.”
“The security of the country, the region, and our allies will be
strengthened by this memorandum,” Pezeshkian added.
On June 18, Iran and the United States signed a peace
memorandum. The document was signed by Iranian President Masoud
Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump and entered into force on
June 19.
Relations between Washington and Tehran saw another escalation
on July 8. On that day, US forces carried out several waves of
strikes on Iranian territory, reportedly in response to an attack
on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first
such action after the memorandum signed between Washington and
Tehran. US President Donald Trump announced the same day that the
ceasefire with Iran had been suspended.
In response, Tehran began strikes against US facilities located
in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE and Oman.
