BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 26. Iran’s Foreign
Ministry on Friday strongly condemned what it described as a U.S.
violation of a ceasefire agreement, saying the attacks breached
international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter,
Trend reports.
According to a statement released by the ministry, Tehran said
Washington bears “full responsibility” for recent attacks targeting
Iran.
“There is no doubt that Iran will not leave any attack
unanswered and will not allow any uncertainty in defending its
sovereignty,” the statement said.
Iranian officials claimed the United States violated the
ceasefire over the past 48 hours in Hormuzgan Province in southern
Iran, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts mediated by Pakistan.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran escalated after
negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program failed to produce a
breakthrough. On Feb. 28, the United States and Israel launched
coordinated airstrikes on Iranian targets. Iran subsequently
responded with missile and drone attacks against Israel and U.S.
facilities across the region.
A two-week ceasefire agreement was reached on April 7 through
Pakistani mediation. However, talks held between U.S. and Iranian
officials in Islamabad on April 11 ended without a deal.
