BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 28. Iran strongly
condemns shelling of areas in the Bandar Abbas County of Hormozgan
Province in southern Iran by the U.S. this morning, the
spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, told
local media today, Trend reports.
According to him, attacks on the territorial integrity and
sovereignty of Iran are considered a clear violation of the UN
Charter and international law, and the UN Security Council must
fulfill its legal responsibility in this regard.
Baghaei said that in recent days, after the ceasefire agreement
between Iran and the U.S. came into effect, the U.S. has attacked
commercial ships in the Persian Gulf and international waters south
of Iran. Iran will take all necessary measures to protect its
territorial integrity and sovereignty.
The Foreign Ministry official condemned the threatening
statements of U.S. officials against Iran and some regional
countries and expressed Iran's solidarity with friendly Oman.
"Threatening to destroy a UN member state that has always taken
constructive, effective, and responsible steps towards peace and
stability in the region and has worked regularly as a mediator in
diplomatic processes for years is a clear violation of
international principles," he added.
This morning, it was reported that the U.S. Armed Forces carried
out an airstrike on a military facility in Iran, captured several
Iranian drones, and Iran also struck a U.S. airbase.
