Iran said it has no plans to hold talks with the U.S. and is focused on defending the country, while the death toll from the latest U.S. strikes has risen to 35.
Iranian officials said Tehran would continue honoring its international commitments only if Washington fulfilled its own obligations under a temporary agreement.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Iran’s commitments would remain in force only as long as the other side upheld its pledges.
“Our commitments remain in effect only as long as the other side fulfills its pledges,” Baghaei said while speaking to reporters.
He said Iran abandoned its commitments under the memorandum of understanding after the U.S. failed to uphold its side of the temporary agreement.
“After the other party violated its obligations, we also refrained from implementing ours in any area where it was required,” Baghaei said.
Iran said it was not currently planning negotiations with the U.S. and that its sole focus was defending the country.
Iranian Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour said the death toll from the latest U.S. attacks on the country had risen to 35, while the number of injured had exceeded 300.
Kermanpour provided the figures in a statement posted on the U.S.-based social media platform X.
He said more than 300 people, including women and children, had been injured in the attacks and that 35 people had been killed.
The provinces suffering the heaviest damage were Hormozgan, Sistan and Baluchestan, and Khuzestan, according to Kermanpour.
Earlier in the morning, he had reported that two people were killed and 260 others were injured in the strikes.
