Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stressed on Tuesday that his country will not begin negotiations on a final agreement with the United States if threats continue, calling for adherence to the terms of the memorandum of understanding signed between the two sides.
In a post on the platform X, Araghchi said: “Millions of Iranians gathered to honor Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his legacy, and neither they nor our armed forces will be affected by any threats.”

He added that “the thirteenth paragraph of the memorandum of understanding is clear, as it states that negotiations on the final agreement will not begin if threats continue,” concluding his message with: “Respect your signature.”
The Iranian minister’s remarks come as Washington and Tehran prepare to resume political contacts after they were temporarily suspended due to the funeral ceremonies for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, amid ongoing disagreements over key issues, most notably the nuclear program and US sanctions.
