Iran insisted early Saturday it had "kept its word" with the U.S. and accused Washington of violating the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in June.
"Iran has so far kept its word, unlike the so-called U.S. Treasury Secretary who is violating [paragraph] 9 of the MoU," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a social media post. "That violation follows other violations and missteps by the United States."
Paragraph 9 of the MoU calls for Iran to maintain its nuclear program as it was at the time and for the U.S. to not impose new sanctions or deploy additional forces to the region.
Araghchi's statement came after President Trump issued a threat in a Truth Social post late Friday to "decimate and destroy" Iran should there be an attempt on his life.
