The United States confirms it will continue official-level discussions with Iran, despite recent military attacks between the two sides.
On July 10, 2569 at 09.52:XNUMX p.m., CNBC news agency reported that The U.S. government has revealed that it will continue to hold technical talks with Iran and remains focused on finding a way to resolve the conflict. Although both sides have recently exchanged military attacks in the past few days.
MS Now reported, citing a US official, that... President Donald Trump has made his position clear, stating that Iran's attack on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz was an act of terrorism and unacceptable behavior for the United States.
US officials also stated that The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran is an agreement subject to the fulfillment of conditions by both parties. Iran's actions constitute an unacceptable breach of the agreement. Nevertheless, the United States will continue negotiations with Iran.
The move comes after Trump said during the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, that the ceasefire with Iran had ended, reflecting the fact that the agreement signed by both sides last month is facing significant pressure following another exchange of attacks this week.
Trump also said on his way back from the meeting that... Iran has contacted the United States to request negotiations to end the escalating fighting in the Middle East, but he remains uncertain whether Iran will abide by the agreement.
“They called recently. They're very keen to make a deal, but I'm not sure if they're reliable enough, and I don't know if they can keep the deal. That's the problem.” Trump said
The Iranian government has accused the United States of violating the memorandum of understanding, citing the US's failure to comply with agreements regarding navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, threats of further military action, and the reimposition of sanctions on Iranian oil exports.
Earlier, the US military launched a retaliatory strike against Iran after three commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz were attacked. Meanwhile, the US Treasury Department revoked exemptions that had previously allowed Iran to export oil, bringing energy sanctions back into full effect.
However, the oil market's response was relatively limited, with Brent crude for September delivery falling slightly to around $76.3 per barrel and U.S. WTI crude at $71.87 per barrel in early Friday Asian trading.
