'Doorstep of another Islamic Republic': Iranian embassy on accord Following the announcement of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, Iran’s embassy in Tunisia described the circumstances surrounding the agreement as historically ironic and praised the role played by Pakistan in the negotiations. “History can be ironic; Trump, in pursuit of a deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran, went to the doorstep of another ‘Islamic Republic’ – Islamic Republic of Pakistan,” the embassy wrote. The comments were the latest in a series of posts by Iranian diplomatic missions that have criticised the United States and portrayed the agreement as a diplomatic success for Tehran.
