UN Must Stop Repeated US Violations of Ceasefire says Iran

Iran has strongly condemned a pre-dawn US drone strike on its radar facilities as a “flagrant breach” of the April ceasefire, reaffirming its “legitimate and inherent” right to self-defense while urging the United Nations to take action against repeated US violations of the truce.

In a statement on Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the US strikes on radar and coastal monitoring facilities in the southern Sirik region and Qeshm Island early in the morning was a “flagrant violation” of the April ceasefire and an act of “military aggression” against the Islamic Republic’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

It added that the attack targeted facilities responsible for safeguarding the country’s border security and ensuring the safety of international shipping waterways.
