Iran accuses US of breaching MoU over oil sanctions waiver

Iran's Foreign Ministry has accused the US of breaching Article 10 of the memorandum of understanding by cancelling a temporary waiver on sanctions targeting Iranian oil sales.

In a statement, the ministry condemned the US Treasury's move, calling it a "clear violation" of the memorandum signed on 18 June.

It said the decision, taken less than 20 days after the signing of the memorandum, showed "bad faith" and proved that the US administration could not be trusted.

The ministry also accused Washington of repeatedly violating parts of the memorandum, both directly and indirectly through what it described as Israeli actions against Lebanon.
