Pezeshkian: US commitment to obligations will determine if talks can progress
President Masoud Pezeshkian stresses the importance of commitment to the agreed obligations to the progress of ongoing talks between Iran and the US on implementation of a recently signed memorandum of understanding.
"The effectiveness of the talks depends on full commitment to the agreed obligations and their precise implementation," the chief executive wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.

"Progress on this path will be measured by practical adherence to accepted responsibilities," he said, adding, "Statements outside the agreed text do not help advance the negotiations."
The remarks came amid repeated observations made by American officials, including President Donald Trump, regarding the purported scope of the talks and their content.
The Islamic Republic has repeatedly rejected such counterproductive discourse, dismissing allegations of its agreeing to provisions outside the scope of the 14-point understanding.
The talks began on Sunday in Switzerland to address the manner of implementation of the Pakistan-mediated MoU.
That memorandum was recently signed by the Iranian and American presidents with the aim of ending the cycle arising out of the latest round of unprovoked American-Israeli aggression, which began targeting the Islamic Republic on February 28.
The Iranian delegation representing the country in the process left Zurich on Monday, with the Islamic Republic underlining the importance of a "commitment for commitment" framework as the sole means of ensuring the talks' success.

Commenting on the conclusion of the latest stage, which will be followed by expert-level discussions, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei emphasized, "Iran will monitor the other side's implementation of obligations and use all its leverage to ensure they are fulfilled."
