Why it matters:
Implementation of Islamabad MoU will start on Friday. New round of Tehran-Washington negotiations will begin in Geneva.
State of play:
The negotiations began during the war and continued for three months until June 15, culminating in a finalized memorandum.
Although the official implementation will begin on Friday, the end of the war was declared effective Monday morning Tehran time.
What he’s saying:
Abbas Araghchi: "Any military attack by the Zionist regime against Lebanon from now on, or the continued occupation of Lebanese territories, will be considered a violation of the memorandum of understanding."
Key points:
- Iran and the United States agreed to divide negotiations into two phases following tensions triggered by what Iran described as aggression by the U.S. and the Zionist regime.
- The first phase addressed immediate issues such as ending the war, the Strait of Hormuz, naval blockades, and reconstruction.
- The second phase will last 60 days and focus on nuclear issues and the lifting of sanctions, with the aim of reaching a final comprehensive agreement.
- The end of the war applies across all fronts, including Lebanon.
