Baghaei accused Washington of repeatedly violating the memorandum of understanding, saying recent measures targeting Iran’s oil sales and the imposition of new sanctions constituted clear breaches of several of its provisions.
He said there was “no legal basis” for demands to inspect Iran’s nuclear facilities damaged in US and Israeli strikes and that there was “no consensus within the UN Security Council” supporting such requests.
He said the Council meeting on Iran’s nuclear issues “produced no outcome” and was “merely another propaganda move by the United States, Britain and France.”
On Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s planned visit to Oman on Saturday, Baghaei said talks would focus on the Strait of Hormuz and maritime safety.
He added that the trip would continue consultations held in Tehran and Muscat to facilitate the safe passage of vessels through the strait.
In mid-June, Iran and the US signed a memorandum of understanding under Pakistani mediation aimed at ending their war and reaching a lasting peace agreement.
Both sides, however, exchanged attacks in the last two days amid escalation following Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Tehran launched strikes Thursday on US military infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Jordan in retaliation for a second day of overnight US attacks.
