President Pezeshkian says Iran will stand by deal only if US does

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that any agreement between Iran and the United States must be rooted in mutual respect and reciprocal commitments, not threats or one-sided pressure.

In a post on X on Monday night, President Pezeshkian wrote, “Mutual understanding is a two-way street. If the American side adheres to the agreement, we will also fulfill our commitments.”

“Our approach to unreasonable saber-rattling and baseless threats is to rely on rationality and human dignity in decision-making, and to defend decisively and fearlessly when it comes time to act.”
