Iran seeks return to June US memorandum, welcomes China's support

arabnews.com —

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Friday that Tehran wants to return to a memorandum of understanding with the United States from June, welcoming China's support for reviving the deal.

The June deal, aimed at laying groundwork for a full peace accord, quickly unraveled. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the UN General Assembly, but talks yielded no breakthrough.
