Iran says nuclear deal deadline ‘meaningless’ after US ‘violations’

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has declared that a 60-day deadline set under a nuclear agreement is no longer relevant, accusing the United States of violating the deal’s terms. “There is no provision in the memorandum of understanding referring to a ‘60-day deadline’,” said a spokesman for the ministry, speaking on condition of anonymity. The statement signals a hardening of Tehran’s position, as it argues that Washington’s actions have effectively voided the timeline originally agreed upon. The spokesman did not specify which US steps constituted violations, but the remarks come amid ongoing tensions over sanctions and enrichment activities. Iran’s move suggests that it will no longer feel bound by the deadline as a measure of compliance, potentially escalating diplomatic friction. The original memorandum, signed earlier this year, had set the period as a window for the US to meet its obligations. Analysts say the announcement could complicate efforts to revive the broader nuclear accord, though no immediate response from US officials was reported.
