Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has strongly condemned the US's repeated violations of the ceasefire and its threatening rhetoric against Iran and some countries in the region, including Oman, NOURNEWS reports.
Denouncing the US military aggression against regions in Bandar Abbas, which took place in the early hours of Thursday, he noted that these aggressive actions against the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Iran are a gross violation of international law and the United Nations Charter, and that the UN Security Council is obligated to fulfill its legal responsibility to hold the US accountable.
Referring to the continuous violation of the ceasefire dated Wednesday on April 8 by the United States, especially 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, Baghaei emphasized 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.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman also condemned the threatening rhetoric of American officials against Iran and some other countries in the region, and expressed solidarity with the friendly and brotherly country of Oman.
