Iran says the 60-day deadline in the memorandum with the U.S. has "completely lost meaning"

According to ME News, on August 17 (UTC+8), Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani stated that the so-called "60-day deadline" has lost all meaning following the United States' violation of the memorandum of understanding signed between Tehran and Washington on June 18. Kanaani said, "The memorandum of understanding contains no clause mentioning a '60-day deadline,' and the Islamic Republic of Iran never formulates policies under pressure, ultimatums, or time constraints." He explained that the memorandum originally set a 60-day period for negotiations on the two issues of "sanctions relief" and "nuclear matters," and that this deadline could have been extended if no agreement had been reached by then. However, since the United States "seriously and broadly violated" the agreement just weeks after its signing, negotiations were never initiated. He added, "Therefore, the so-called 60-day deadline has become entirely meaningless." (Jinshi) (Source: ODAILY)
