Iran's Foreign Ministry Says 'Deep Mistrust' in US Remains Despite Deal
Tehran says Washington must prove its commitments as the framework calls for 60 days of talks, frozen assets release and reparations.
- The United States and Iran announced a deal on Monday to end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran managing the vital waterway and charging maritime service fees on transiting ships.
- Fighting erupted in late February following US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which retaliated with attacks on Israel and US allies; Iran subsequently blockaded the Strait, causing months of deadly violence and global economic chaos.
- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated Tehran still holds "deep mistrust" of the United States, characterizing the framework as "merely a step towards reducing tensions" given a long history of American wrongdoing.
- Washington committed to releasing frozen Iranian assets and providing reparations for war damages, while the United States must ensure Israel halts military operations in Lebanon, where Iran-backed Hezbollah escalated fighting in early March.
- The framework paves the way for 60-day negotiations on a final agreement covering Iran's contentious nuclear program and sanctions relief, with a United Nations Security Council resolution expected to endorse the accord afterward.
