Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks calling the Islamabad memorandum of understanding a waste of time. Iranian state media said the comments showed Washington's disregard for diplomatic commitments and raised questions about its accountability under international law. The remarks came as Trump discussed the Islamabad MoU publicly, and Tehran responded through Press TV and IRNA on October 28, 2026. The excerpts do not describe the terms of the memorandum or any US reply to Iran's criticism.
