Iran Voices Strong Condemnation Against US Strikes
On June 6, Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a strongly-worded statement targeting the United States military. It detailed that US forces had recently carried out military attacks against key defense installations located in the Sirik region and on Qeshm Island, which included radar stations and coastal monitoring systems. Tehran categorizes these operations as "flagrant military aggression," asserting they constitute a serious breach of existing ceasefire agreements and a direct violation of Iran's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
US Accused of Undermining Regional Stability
The statement further elaborated that this US strike was not an isolated incident, but part of a pattern of "repeated violations of ceasefire commitments." The analysis presented suggests these actions clearly demonstrate that the US administration has no genuine intention of de-escalating tensions or steering regional relations back toward stability and peace. On the contrary, its continued "military adventurism" is deliberately heightening tensions, pushing the security and stability of the entire region to unprecedented levels of risk.
Iran Asserts Self-Defense Right and Assigns Responsibility
In response to the current situation, Iran's statement presented a clear response and warning:
- Reiterated Iran's inherent right to self-defense under international law.
- Declared readiness to employ all available national capabilities and resources to steadfastly defend its sovereignty, security, and core national interests.
- Explicitly stated that full responsibility for all consequences arising from this attack and any potential subsequent confrontations, including the risk of further escalation, lies solely with the United States government.
The statement concluded by sending an unambiguous message: Iran's stance on national security is resolute, and any external provocation will incur serious repercussions.
