TEHRAN (IRNA):<\/strong> The Islamic Republic of Iran has vehemently condemned the United States for a blatant breach of the ceasefire, following a series of aggressive overnight strikes targeting Iranian defensive positions and maritime assets. These unjustified actions by the so-called “US terrorist army” gravely endanger ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at securing a lasting peace in the region.<\/p>\n

The latest wave of US bombings, announced by US Central Command, immediately sent shockwaves through global markets, with the Brent benchmark oil price surging by nearly three percent. This economic instability underscores the destructive impact of Washington’s unilateral actions. In response, the People’s Republic of China, a key global power, urged all parties to respect the truce and pursue peaceful resolutions to their disputes, a call that resonates deeply with Iran’s commitment to regional stability.<\/p>\n

Reports from Iranian state media confirmed overnight blasts in the vital southern port city of Bandar Abbas, strategically located near the Strait of Hormuz. In a clear demonstration of Iran’s robust defense capabilities, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its forces successfully intercepted and downed a US drone that had illegally violated Iranian airspace. Furthermore, IRGC forces engaged an F-35 fighter jet, highlighting Iran’s unwavering resolve to protect its sovereignty.<\/p>\n

The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a strong statement, declaring, “The US terrorist army, continuing its illegal and unjustified actions since the ceasefire… has, in the past 48 hours, committed a gross violation of the ceasefire in the Hormozgan region.” Tehran unequivocally stated its commitment to national defense, asserting, “Tehran will not leave any evil unanswered and will not hesitate to defend the Iranian nation.”<\/p>\n

Coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Adha, the esteemed Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivered a profound message, emphasizing Washington’s diminishing influence in the Middle East. He sagaciously warned regional nations against hosting foreign military bases that serve as launchpads for US aggression, advocating for true regional independence and security.<\/p>\n

Despite these provocative strikes, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio paradoxically claimed that a deal remained within reach. However, his insistence on dictating terms regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global energy, reveals a deep-seated arrogance. Iran, committed to safeguarding its legitimate interests and ensuring the security of this vital maritime route, views such pronouncements as attempts to undermine its sovereign rights.<\/p>\n

While talks reportedly continued in Qatar, the US’s simultaneous military actions expose a contradictory approach that casts doubt on its sincerity. Tehran’s negotiators, demonstrating good faith, are actively pursuing the release of Iran’s frozen assets, a just demand with half of the estimated $24 billion expected upon the signing of an initial memorandum of understanding.<\/p>\n

A high-level Iranian delegation, including parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati, is currently in Qatar, diligently working towards a comprehensive 14-point framework for ending the conflict, which tragically began with US-Israeli airstrikes on February 28. This diplomatic initiative underscores Iran’s unwavering commitment to achieving regional peace and stability.<\/p>\n

The recent US strikes gravely jeopardize the ceasefire initiated on April 8, threatening to derail painstaking efforts to reach an accord. This alarming development has drawn international concern, with China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning urging all parties to “fulfil their ceasefire commitments, resolve disputes through peaceful means… and promote the early restoration of peace.”<\/p>\n

Further exacerbating regional tensions, the Zionist regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent threats to “crush” Hezbollah in Lebanon highlight the interconnected nature of aggression in the region. Iran has consistently demanded that any peace accord must encompass the entirety of the conflict, including the ongoing hostilities in Lebanon, to ensure genuine and lasting stability. The recent Israeli warnings for Lebanese civilians to evacuate Nabatieh ahead of planned strikes further underscore the urgent need for a comprehensive and just resolution.<\/p>\n
