After the 40-day war between the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, the Islamabad Memorandum was signed with the mediation of Pakistan with the aim of stopping the conflicts and providing the basis for reaching a final agreement between Tehran and Washington. However, the process of implementing this memorandum was faced with the failures and reneges of the United States, and the country's repeated attacks on Iran, along with Washington's failure to fulfill its obligations, hindered the process of reaching the final agreement. In the same framework, Tehran emphasized the necessity of America's adherence to the commitments contained in the Islamabad Memorandum and believes that the continuation of the diplomatic process and the achievement of a stable agreement requires Washington to put an end to actions contrary to the understandings.
