Iran warns it will respond if US continues attacks

On Saturday, the Islamic Republic warned that if the United States continues its attacks on Iran, Tehran will no longer consider itself bound by the memorandum of understanding signed with Washington. According to media outlets close to the Iranian government, Said Iravani, Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, stated: "If American attacks continue, Iran will no longer be bound by its understanding with America." The Iran-U.S. memorandum was signed on June 15, but last week the two sides carried out significant attacks against each other in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening planned negotiations within the framework of this understanding aimed at reaching a permanent solution to end the war. Iravani accused Washington of "clear violation" of the United Nations Charter due to attacks on various regions of Iran on July 6 and 7, and declared that if the United States continues to breach its commitments under the memorandum, Iran will no longer be obligated to fulfill its commitments under the understanding..
