Iran’s Supreme Leader permits a US memorandum of understanding but cautions against excessive American demands in upcoming talks.
Iran’s Supreme Leader approved a memorandum of understanding with the US after assurances from the Iranian president and security officials. The move follows commitments to safeguard Iran’s national rights and resistance interests, though the leader emphasized future negotiations do not imply acceptance of US positions.
The approval comes amid pressure from the US, which reportedly used leverage to secure the agreement. Iran’s leader warned that excessive demands from Washington would not be tolerated, signaling potential friction in upcoming in-person talks.
