Multiple reports (Khaleej Times, Firstpost, Breitbart) of Pezeshkian's Tuesday, September 1, 2026 remarks at the SCO summit in Bishkek support the core claim that Iran is ready to return to the June 17 MOU and reciprocate.
What was said
… Pajeshkian calls himself the president. That's simply because he's got a phone, a camera, and a security crew, and nothing more. Yeah, by the way, apparently, said that he's being a little more conciliatory. I'm reading this headline from Breitbart. He said on Tuesday that his government is preparing to return to talks, resume honoring its commitments under the June 17th memorandum of understanding. That sounds like a tail retreating between his legs, and reciprocal gestures if the U.S. Returns to diplomacy. It's too much, too little, too late for Donald Trump.

The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Khaleej Times quotes Pezeshkian at the SCO summit in Kyrgyzstan saying Iran would 'immediately' take reciprocal action if the US returned to its commitments under the memorandum.[1]
Supports. Firstpost reports Pezeshkian said on Tuesday that Iran would return to the peace deal with the US if Trump honoured the June Memorandum of Understanding, quoting ISNA.[2]
Supports. Breitbart reports Pezeshkian said on Tuesday that his government is prepared to return to talks and resume honoring its commitments under the June 17 MOU, which is the wording the claim reproduces.[3]
Context. Every report makes the offer conditional on the US returning to its commitments first, so the claim's unconditional phrasing drops the qualifier that frames the statement.[1][2][3][4]
Context. The MOU later collapsed: Trump declared it 'over' on July 8, and later sources describe the deal as no longer in force, though this does not change what Pezeshkian said on September 1.[5]
