Event details

IRNA said Abbas Baqerpour, director general of Legal Affairs at the Foreign Ministry, said the Islamabad memorandum is not dead despite repeated violations, but rather in a coma from which it could be revived if Washington changes its approach. He said Tehran is ready for revival only if the United States abandons its habit of breaching commitments and its inclination toward unilateral sanctions.
