Overview
The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, signed 60 days ago, expired without any progress toward peace or extension. Iranian officials assert that the US violated the agreement within 48 hours of its signing and subsequently withdrew from it. Tehran has firmly ruled out any talks to extend the MoU, emphasizing Washington's repeated breaches. The deal, initially seen as a ceasefire, quickly unraveled amid mutual accusations and a lack of trust, leaving the diplomatic stalemate unresolved.
