Iranian media says Islamabad MOU is effectively over, urges firm response to Trump

Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported on July 8 that it is neither logical nor reasonable for Iran to continue implementing the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) now that U.S. President Donald Trump has officially declared its termination. The report, conveying Iran's position, stated that the country must respond to Trump with clear action. According to the Iranian side, while its negotiating team worked to advance the MOU, it was evident from the outset that the United States would not honor any agreement, particularly when Iran asserted its own rights. The agency added that the MOU was effectively nullified from the beginning due to the U.S. failure to fulfill its commitments and that its official end was merely formalized the previous night.
