The Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) issued a message on Friday, two days after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and his American counterpart Donald Trump remotely signed the MoU that brings about a permanent end to the illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei hailed Iranian officials’ efforts to reach the agreement, while noting that Trump used various leverage points out of desperation.
The SNSC’s Secretariat assured the Leader and the Iranian nation that it will show no leniency in carrying out Ayatollah Khamenei’s orders in safeguarding the rights of the Iranian people and the Resistance Front, honoring the blood of martyrs, and advancing future talks on the basis of the Islamic Republic’s interests and welfare.
The secretariat also noted that it “will not rest until the full rights of the Iranian people are secured and the pure and sacred blood of our martyrs is avenged.”
“In this regard, with complete distrust of the treacherous and covenant-breaking enemy, and with precise monitoring of the process of negotiations and the implementation of the agreements, should any violation or breach occur on the American side, a reciprocal measure will be taken according to the predetermined plan.”
The 14-point deal, which includes a commitment from both sides to hold further talks on a final agreement in the next 60 days, was finalized following intensive mediation efforts by Pakistan and support from other regional countries.
It calls for a permanent end to hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon, the phased lifting of US sanctions, the removal of the naval blockade on Iran within 30 days, and the restoration of commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
It also includes a US-backed reconstruction and economic development plan for Iran worth at least $300 billion, oil export waivers, the release of Iran’s frozen assets, and a renewed Iranian commitment not to seek nuclear weapons, while further negotiations continue over Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
The MoU has triggered sharp criticism in Washington, where some lawmakers argue that months of military escalation imposed heavy costs on the United States while yielding significant gains for Iran.
