Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned recent US airstrikes on southern Iranian coastal areas, describing them as a blatant violation of international law and the memorandum of understanding ending the imposed war.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the air strikes carried out by the terrorist army of the United States on the evening of Friday, June 26, 2026, on several points on the southern coasts of Iran. These savage attacks, which targeted Iran’s coastal surveillance facilities, constitute a clear violation of paragraph 4 of Article 2 of the UN Charter as well as an explicit violation of paragraph one of the MoU for ending the imposed war dated June 18, 2026,” the ministry said in a statement released on Saturday.

“At the same time, the occupying and apartheid Zionist regime, in coordination with the United States, also carried out an attack on Lebanon, which constitutes a clear violation of paragraph one of the memorandum of understanding ending the war,” it added.
“While emphasizing Iran’s inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the Islamic Republic of Iran will defend its sovereignty, security, and national interests with all its might. The defensive strikes of the powerful Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran against targets related to the aggressive US forces were carried out on this basis,” the statement added.
The ministry underlined that responsibility for the consequences of this situation lies with the aggressive US regime and parties that in any way cooperate in committing the US aggressive actions against Iran.
“In this regard, emphasis is placed on the necessity for all countries located on the southern shore of the Persian Gulf to adhere to the principle of good neighborliness and to observe the fundamental principle of international law requiring prevention of the use of their territory and facilities by aggressive parties to commit acts of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” it stated.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also calls on the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Security Council, and other responsible international bodies not to remain indifferent to the gross violation of the fundamental principles and rules of the UN Charter and international law by the United States, and to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities regarding regional and international peace and security,” the statement concluded.
