Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the mid‑June framework with the United States should form the basis of future relations and urged that Washington be compelled to honor what it has signed. He wrote on X that enforcing the pact would bolster security for Iran, the region and its allies. The framework — intended to end the conflict with a 60‑day transitional period — has been complicated by repeated attacks by both sides. US President Donald Trump said he paused new strikes citing "outlines of an agreement," which Iran did not immediately confirm.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that the mid‑June framework agreement with the United States should serve as the foundation for future diplomatic relations with Washington.
Writing on the social platform X, Pezeshkian declared:
"We must do everything to force the enemy to adhere to what it has signed."He said strict enforcement of the pact would strengthen security for Iran, the broader region and Tehran's allies.
Iran and the United States reached a framework in mid‑June that was presented as a step toward ending the conflict. Officials said remaining details would be worked out during a 60‑day transitional period, but progress has been undermined by repeated exchanges of attacks between the parties since the announcement.
US President Donald Trump recently said he had called off a new wave of strikes against Iran because there were now "outlines of an agreement," a claim Iran did not immediately confirm. Pezeshkian's remarks emphasize Tehran's insistence that any agreement be fully implemented and verified before ties with Washington can normalize.
Implications
Enforcement will be central to whether the framework reduces tensions or remains a fragile pause. Continued hostilities during the transition period illustrate the challenges ahead for negotiators on both sides.
