Iran suspends peace memorandum with US citing violations as strikes continue

Part of US-Iran Conflict

Iran suspended its commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding with the United States on Saturday, with Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi accusing Washington of violating the agreement brokered by Pakistan in mid-June.

The collapse of the framework deal, which was intended to pave the way for a lasting end to hostilities, comes as the United States carried out its seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iranian territory, killing at least 50 people and wounding more than 500. Iranian forces struck US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan, while the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned of a devastating response to any attack on Iranian infrastructure.

US President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iranian power plants and bridges if Tehran does not return to negotiations. The memorandum, signed in June 2026, was seen as a pathway to ending the wider conflict before its rapid unraveling this week.
