Geopolitics
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has confirmed that Iran will proceed with negotiations with the United States under the memorandum of understanding to end the war, but will not be forced into submission. He warned that if the US fails to meet its obligations, Iran is ready to immediately cancel its commitments. The Iranian leader also denied resignation rumors amid internal conflicts, stressing that he will continue to carry out his duties with determination. The memorandum of understanding was signed in June 2026, requiring both sides to begin formal negotiations within 60 days to reach a final agreement. However, the latest developments have heightened tensions, leaving the path to a deal still fraught with uncertainty.
