Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said the Islamic Republic is ready to return to the terms of the memorandum of understanding signed with the US, which suspended hostilities between the two countries in June and established a diplomatic process, if Washington chooses to return to negotiation. The promise of "reciprocity" to an American move was made during the summit meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), held in Kyrgyzstan.
The event brings together non-Western leaders, including China's President Xi Jinping and Russia's President Vladimir Putin. Analysts point out that the Iranians intend to use the forum to counter the new economic sanctions campaign announced by the US against Iran.
