Leader Addresses Nation After MoU with US Takes Effect

In a message to the nation, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, addressed the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Iran and the United States. He stated that Iranian authorities made utmost efforts in the process leading to the signing of the MoU, demonstrating their goodwill. However, he noted that it was the US president who acted out of desperation for the agreement.

Ayatollah Khamenei acknowledged that he held a different opinion regarding the MoU but felt compelled to authorize it out of his duty and in response to requests from the President and the Supreme National Security Council. He emphasized that in the upcoming in-person negotiations following the MoU's implementation, if the Americans make excessive demands, Iran will not accept them under any circumstances.

The Leader stressed that engaging in talks does not mean Iran will accept the enemy's opinions. He reiterated the importance of maintaining national principles and resisting undue pressure. This item is being updated as more details emerge.

According to Mehr News, the Leader's remarks underscore the cautious approach Iran intends to take in future negotiations with the United States.
