The US terrorist army, continuing its illegal and unjustified actions since the ceasefire was declared on April 10, 1405, especially the numerous cases of maritime piracy against Iranian commercial ships in the past 48 hours, committed a gross violation of the ceasefire in the Hormozgan region.

The commission of these aggressive acts, simultaneously with the ongoing diplomatic process mediated by Pakistan, once again revealed the US ruling party's callousness and perfidy to the Iranian nation, the people of the region, and the international community, and showed that the principled approach of the Iranian nation in all three areas, the street and diplomacy, is based on deep suspicion of the US regime, based on logic and a deep understanding of its vindictive and criminal nature and actions against the Iranian people.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns these aggressive actions, which are a clear violation of Article 2, Paragraph 4, of the United Nations Charter, as well as the ceasefire of Farvardin 19, 1405, and holds the US regime responsible for all consequences resulting from these aggressive actions.

Without a doubt, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not leave any evil unanswered and will not hesitate to defend the Iranian nation.
