[Iranian Foreign Ministry: Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding "Enters Crisis Phase"] Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae said on the 13th that the memorandum of understanding reached between Iran and the United States has "entered a crisis phase," but Iran has never been the first to violate its commitments. Baghae said that Iran has always participated in negotiations with a serious and earnest attitude, taking into account the interests and well-being of the Iranian people. Once an agreement is reached, it will fulfill its commitments in good faith and with a serious attitude. Baghae said that the party that continues to violate the agreement is the United States. They are so impatient in violating the agreement that they have begun to make provocative statements before the one-month period stipulated in the memorandum for Iran to fulfill its commitments on the Strait of Hormuz issue has expired. Baghae said that the United States has undermined various provisions of the memorandum of understanding in various ways. "We have said from the beginning that 'commitments are for commitments'; as long as the other party abides by its commitments, we will fulfill our commitments. In practice, we have also shown that whenever the other party violates the agreement, we will not fulfill our commitments." (Xinhua)
