Iran has strongly condemned a pre-dawn US drone strike on its radar facilities as a flagrant breach of the April ceasefire deal, reaffirming its legitimate and inherent right to self-defense while urging the UNSC to take action against repeated US violations of the truce.
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 an act of military aggression against the Islamic Republic’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
It added that the flagrant violation of the April ceasefire and attack targeted facilities responsible for safeguarding the country’s border security and ensuring the safety of international shipping waterways.
This move, which took place in the continuation of the hostile and provocative behavior of the US regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran, exposes the complete disregard of the American ruling establishment for the fundamental principles of international law and the United Nations Charter.
The repeated violation of the ceasefire by the US military proves once again that this country not only has no intention of reducing tensions and returning to the path of stability, but also jeopardizes regional security with its provocative actions.
In a direct appeal to regional countries, the ministry urged them to uphold the principle of good neighborliness and refrain from allowing aggressors to use their territory or resources to design or carry out acts of aggression against Iran.
The statement comes after US Central Command wrote in a post on X that moments ago, CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz.
The post claimed that the attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic and that US forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further attacks.
In retaliation, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said in a statement that in retaliation it had targeted two US air bases in Kuwait and the remaining facilities of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain in response to the latest US aggression.
The IRGC said that four violating oil tankers, instigated and guided by the aggressive American warships and without coordination or attention to repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy, attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz early on Saturday.
Following warnings, one of the tankers was targeted and stopped, and the other violating vessels turned back.

The penny never seems to drop that continually and unceasingly over many years that the words that come out of the mouth of the American government change from day to day . And always the country those words are directed at always seems to be amazed at the 180 degree turn in direction . Surely its time naivety took a back seat and reality took its place ,the simple truth is—— America lies therefore no weight should be attached to what they say. I go by one simple outlook in life —“by their actions shall they be known ” –it… Read more »
What the USA is doing is exactly what it does to Russia and now copied by the UK/EU , it takes action on a small scale against that country then when the country protests it gets major headlines saying “how hard its tried to come to terms with that country and they are not willing to conform ” .
This is a well know political / psychological strategic strategy to get the country on the “back foot ” forever apologising and making it look bad in the public eye.
