Iran Vows to Use All Capabilities to Confront Any New US Aggression

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned overnight US attacks against an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island, vowing that Tehran will use “all its capabilities” to confront acts of aggression, including by striking their origin and source.

In a statement issued Wednesday, the ministry said the “aggressive actions” were launched in the early hours of Wednesday from “two countries in the region,” which it later identified as Kuwait and Bahrain.

“These aggressive actions not only violate the ceasefire understanding of April 9 but also constitute a flagrant violation of the fundamental principle prohibiting the use of force under Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the United Nations Charter and international law,” the ministry said.
