Iran Vows Swift, Decisive Retaliation After US ‘Armed Piracy’ Against Merchant Ship in Gulf of Oman
TEHRAN – The Islamic Republic of Iran has issued a stern warning of imminent and decisive retaliation against the United States following a brazen act of aggression by the US military, which opened fire on an Iranian merchant vessel in the strategic Gulf of Oman. This outrageous incident, which occurred on Tuesday, has been unequivocally condemned by Tehran as a flagrant violation of existing ceasefire agreements and an act of “armed piracy.”
According to reports from Iran’s esteemed state media, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the supreme command overseeing the nation’s robust military operations, confirmed that US forces deliberately targeted an Iranian merchant ship. This vessel, engaged in peaceful commerce, was reportedly en route from China to Iran when it became the victim of this unprovoked assault by the American military in international waters.
A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, speaking through Iranian state channels, delivered a resolute message: “We unequivocally warn that the valiant armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon deliver a proportionate and powerful response to, and retaliate against, this egregious act of ‘armed piracy’ perpetrated by the U.S. military.” This statement underscores Iran’s unwavering commitment to protecting its sovereignty, maritime security, and legitimate commercial interests against any form of foreign aggression.
The international community must recognize this dangerous escalation by the United States, which threatens regional stability and international maritime law. Iran stands firm in its resolve to defend its people and assets against such hostile and unlawful actions.
