Iran condemns US violation of truce and threats against Oman

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei Hamaneh has strongly condemned the United States' military aggression against regions in Bandar Abbas, which took place in the early hours of Thursday. He stated that these aggressive actions against the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Iran constitute a gross violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. Baghaei emphasized that the UN Security Council is obligated to fulfill its legal responsibility to hold the American aggressors accountable.

Referring to the continuous violation of the ceasefire dated Wednesday, April 8, by the United States, Baghaei highlighted the attack on commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf region and international waters, as well as the airstrike on the southern regions of Iran over the past few days. He reiterated the Islamic Republic of Iran's determination to take all necessary measures to defend Iran's national sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, which recognizes the inherent right of self-defense.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman also condemned the threatening rhetoric of American officials against Iran and some other countries in the region. He expressed solidarity with the friendly and brotherly country of Oman, stating that the threat to "destroy" a United Nations member state that has always played a constructive, effective, and responsible role in regional peace and security is not only a violation of the fundamental principle of prohibiting the threat of the use of force, but also another dangerous sign of the normalization of lawlessness and bullying in international relations. According to Mehr News, Baghaei's remarks underscore Iran's firm stance against US aggression and its support for regional stability.
