Araghchi: Iran Has Adhered to Its Commitments So Far

Syed Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, responded to claims made by the United States Treasury Secretary by posting a message on the X network on Saturday morning. In this message, Araghchi accused Iran of commitment to its obligations and acknowledged that the only solution to the issue is mutual commitment by both countries to their obligations within the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. At the same time, Araghchi traveled on a diplomatic visit to Oman and, with the reception of Omani officials, particularly Al-Busaidi, arrived in Muscat.

• Araghchi claimed that Iran "has thus far been committed to its obligations," while emphasizing that other countries (an allusion to the United States) have not adhered to this principle.
• The Foreign Minister stated that the only existing solution for improving relations is "mutual commitment by both sides to their obligations under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding."
• Araghchi alluded to the violation of clause nine of the Memorandum of Understanding by the U.S. Treasury Secretary.
• Araghchi's travel to Oman took place within the context of these diplomatic exchanges, and he held meetings and discussions with Omani officials.
• Iranian media focused primarily on directly conveying Araghchi's claims on the X network.
• All sources covering this news uniformly repeated Araghchi's main headline and core message regarding mutual commitment.
• Some coverage emphasized Araghchi's travel to Muscat and the reception by Omani officials.. Coverage difference: All Iranian media, without exception, focused on Araghchi's claims regarding Iran's commitment to its obligations, but none of them provided complete details of the U.S. Treasury Secretary's claims or the precise context of the bilateral dispute. Some outlets (Mizan News Agency and certain other publications) emphasized the diplomatic aspect of the visit, while the majority focused on the text of the message itself.
