Iran-US Agreement Remains in Dispute
Iran and the United States signed an interim memorandum in June.
The agreement aimed to end military operations and create a path toward a wider settlement.
However, the arrangement later broke down.
The two sides now disagree over several key issues.
These include the Strait of Hormuz, US sanctions and the implementation of the agreement.
Iran says Washington must return to the agreement and meet its commitments.
The United States, meanwhile, has rejected Iran’s conditions and continues to demand major changes from Tehran.
Diplomacy Faces New Challenges
Araghchi said military power alone does not guarantee lasting success.
He argued that diplomatic efforts can strengthen gains made through resistance.
His comments come as tensions between Iran and the United States remain high.
The latest dispute has also increased pressure on regional mediators.
Pakistan, Qatar and Oman have played roles in efforts to keep diplomatic channels open.
However, no final agreement has emerged so far.
Iran Takes Tough Position
Iran has maintained a firm position in the ongoing dispute.
Tehran says it will not accept conditions that amount to surrender.
Iran has also warned that it could take stronger action if the United States fails to meet its commitments.
At the same time, both sides continue to exchange messages through diplomatic channels.
The situation remains uncertain as efforts to revive the agreement face major obstacles.
