Tehran: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday praised the recently signed memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States, describing it as a 'historic document' and a 'product of national resilience and responsible diplomacy.'

According to Anadolu Agency, in two separate posts on US social media company X, accompanied by an image of the signed memorandum, Pezeshkian said the document reflected 'the voice of a nation that did not trade its dignity and independence for any threat or pressure.' He emphasized that the agreement was a result of 'national perseverance, political rationality and responsible diplomacy.'

In a second message, President Pezeshkian described the memorandum as 'a historic document and a message from a powerful Iran.' He asserted that 'peace will be achieved in the shadow of mutual respect,' reinforcing Iran's commitment to global peace while maintaining its dignity, independence, progress, and regional cooperation.

The remarks came a day after Tehran and Washington announced the formal signing of a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending months of conflict and opening negotiations on Iran's nuclear program and sanctions relief. The agreement includes provisions related to ending military operations across regional fronts, easing restrictions on Iranian oil exports, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and ensuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
