Iran says diplomatic efforts are continuing to resolve outstanding issues with the United States.
Interior Ministry spokesperson Ali Zeynivand said international mediation was underway to address problems surrounding the Islamabad agreement.
The agreement was signed by Iran and the US in June.
Meanwhile, Zeynivand also acknowledged growing concern over rising prices in Iran.
Iran-US diplomatic efforts continue
Zeynivand said efforts were underway to return to the terms of the Islamabad agreement.
“Efforts and international diplomatic mediations to resolve issues and return to the Islamabad agreement are ongoing,” he said, according to Al Jazeera, citing Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
He added that Tehran expected the other side to meet its commitments under the agreement.
Zeynivand said the agreement had been approved by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
He also said diplomatic activity was continuing through international meetings and consultations.
What is the Islamabad agreement?
Iran and the United States signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding in June.
Pakistan acted as a mediator in the process.
The agreement ended military operations between the two sides and created a framework for further negotiations.
It also included provisions related to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and wider talks between Tehran and Washington.
The two sides were expected to work towards a final agreement.
Rising prices worry Iranians
Zeynivand also addressed Iran’s economic situation.
“Rising prices are causing concern for the people,” he said.
He added that government officials were working to address the problem.
Iran has faced strong inflationary pressure after years of Western sanctions.
At the same time, the country is dealing with the cost of rebuilding infrastructure damaged during the conflict.
Reconstruction remains a priority
Zeynivand said rebuilding damaged civilian infrastructure was a major priority.
He said homes and public facilities would receive priority over less urgent government projects.
According to the spokesperson, around 75,000 homes were damaged during attacks.
He also reported damage to infrastructure and bridges in several provinces.
The latest comments show that Iran is pursuing diplomatic efforts with the US while also facing economic and reconstruction pressures at home.
