Iran condemns US ceasefire violations as endangering 'security of region'

Iran’s foreign ministry issued a statement condemning US attacks on the country as “adventurist actions” which “seriously endanger the security of the region”.

It said in a statement on X that the US “lacks the will to reduce tensions and return to the path of stability,” adding that its latest attacks on Qeshm Island and Goruk violate the fragile ceasefire agreement. It said that Washington holds sole responsibility for the consequences of the strikes.

The ministry further called on countries in the region to “observe the principle of good neighbourliness and adhere to the fundamental principle of international law of refraining from allowing aggressors to use their territory and facilities to plan and carry out aggressive actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
