Iran condemns US attacks as breach of UN Charter

Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Sunday condemning fresh US attacks carried out in the early hours of the day. The ministry described the attacks as a clear breach of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits the use of force, and a direct violation of Article 1 of the memorandum of understanding on ending the war.

The statement said: "These brutal attacks show that the American regime attaches the least value or credibility to its commitments, and that oath-breaking is part of the nature of this regime." The ministry reminded the UN Security Council and the Secretary-General of their responsibilities for maintaining international peace and security, and stressed Iran's determination to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity under Article 51 of the UN Charter.

The statement follows an overnight operation by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that struck eight US military targets in Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation. The IRGC Navy also issued a warning that US bases will "experience hell in these days." The IRGC had earlier cautioned that any ceasefire violations would halt the entire diplomatic process.

According to Mehr News Agency, the statement underscores Iran's position that the US attacks undermine the ceasefire and regional stability. The ministry called on the international community to hold the US accountable for its actions.
