Tehran: Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, announced on Monday that a 60-day timeframe specified in a memorandum of understanding with the United States has "lost its relevance" due to what he described as "flagrant" violations by Washington.

According to TRTworld.com, Baqaei clarified during a weekly news conference that the memorandum did not include a specific 60-day deadline. He emphasized that Iran does not formulate its policies based on pressure, ultimatums, or time constraints. The memorandum was initially designed to allow a 60-day period for negotiations on two critical issues-sanctions relief and nuclear considerations-which could have been extended if necessary.

Baqaei highlighted that the United States' "flagrant and widespread violation" of the memorandum led to no dialogue being initiated shortly after its signing. Consequently, he stated that the discussion surrounding the 60-day deadline has become entirely irrelevant.

In a related matter, Baqaei mentioned ongoing negotiations with Oman regarding maritime transit through the Strait of Hormuz. He noted that developing a maritime traffic route map with Oman has been delayed due to security complexities stemming from actions by the US and Israeli regimes, the involvement of multiple actors, and malicious disruptions.
