According to the memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran on June 18, the two sides promised to conduct negotiations within a 60-day window to reach a final agreement. Today, the 60-day window has expired. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said at a regular press conference today that negotiations failed because the US “blatantly and extensively violated the Memorandum of Understanding,” so the 60-day period has “completely lost its meaning” — Iran's policy formulation will never be affected by an “ultimatum” or “deadline.”
