Iran’s Foreign Ministry has accused the United States of breaching a memorandum of understanding between the two countries. The accusation follows Washington’s decision to cancel the temporary lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil sales. Tehran claims that the U.S. action violates Article 10 of the memorandum signed on June 18.

In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the U.S. Treasury Department’s move, calling it a clear violation of the bilateral agreement. The ministry said that taking such a decision less than 20 days after signing the memorandum demonstrates Washington’s misconduct and bad faith, adding that it proves the U.S. administration cannot be trusted.

Tehran further alleged that the United States has repeatedly violated various provisions of the agreement, both directly and indirectly. As an example, it cited U.S. indirect support for Israeli military activities in Lebanon as another breach of the memorandum.
