Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday Tehran will keep pursuing the path of peace under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed recently with the United States, provided that Washington helps build an atmosphere of trust.

Iran is trying to move on the "path of peace" based on the "paragraphs" in the MoU, Pezeshkian said at a press conference, adding, "Now is the best time to reach an agreement, as there is solidarity, power and unity in the country."

"We are determined to ... use the MoU as the basis provided that the United States lets go of the atmosphere of distrust it has created, and an atmosphere of trust is formed," he said.

Pezeshkian highlighted reciprocity in negotiations with the United States, saying Iran will match its commitments to the level of U.S. compliance.

If the other side seeks to resort to force, Iran will not acquiesce to that, he said, adding that the basis for Iran's action will eventually be Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's decisions.

In June, Iran and the United States signed the MoU on ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon. The two sides were scheduled to hold negotiations within a 60-day period to reach a final agreement, but recent escalation in the region has left the talks' fate uncertain.
