Iran Blames US for Violating Islamabad Truce, Defends Military Response as Self-Defense
Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the United States' blatant violation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, stating that the defensive strikes carried out by Iran's powerful Armed Forces against targets linked to the invading US forces were conducted in accordance with the country's inherent right to self-defense.
In a statement on Saturday, the ministry added that responsibility for the consequences of the situation lies with the aggressive and treaty-breaking US regime and its accomplices.It said these brutal attacks, which struck Iran's coastal monitoring facilities, constitute a flagrant violation of Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations, as well as a clear breach of Clause 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Termination of the Imposed War, dated June 18, 2026. It added that simultaneously, the apartheid Zionist regime, in coordination with the United States, launched an attack on Lebanon, which similarly constitutes a clear violation of Clause 1 of the said Memorandum of Understanding. While underscoring Iran's inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran will defend its sovereignty, security, and national interests with full capability. The Iranian Foreign Ministry emphasized the necessity for all states situated on the Southern littoral of the Persian Gulf to adhere to the principle of good neighborliness and to observe the fundamental tenet of international law prohibiting the use of their territory and facilities by aggressor parties for the commission of aggressive acts against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also called upon the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Security Council, and other responsible international bodies not to remain indifferent to the egregious violation of fundamental principles and rules of the UN Charter and international law by the United States, and to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities with respect to regional and international peace and security.
