Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday accused the US of grossly violating the ceasefire in force since April 8 and attacking the “national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic” in connection with the attack by American troops on Iranian coastal surveillance radars in Goruk and on the island of Keshm.
Iran's Foreign Ministry wrote in a statement that it condemns the “hostile and provocative behavior of the American regime” and that Washington is responsible for the possible consequences of violating the truce.
The ministry also announced that repeated attacks by American forces prove that the US is not trying to reduce tensions.
The US accuses Iran of missile attacks
US Central Command (CENTCOM) earlier reported that Iran fired seven ballistic missiles towards Kuwait and Bahrain on Friday night. Six were shot down and one failed to reach its target. Additionally, four Iranian drones that were heading towards ships in the Strait of Hormuz were shot down, after which US forces attacked Iranian radars in Goruk and Keshm Island.
A ceasefire in this conflict has been formally in force since April 8; The US and Israel's war with Iran began on February 28. US President Donald Trump gave the authorities in Tehran time to submit a “new proposal to end the war and end talks on this topic.” However, negotiations to end the war are at an impasse.
However, Reuters reports that Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi traveled to Iran on Saturday to meet with Supreme Iranian leader Mojtaba Chemenei. Pakistan took on the role of mediator in the Iran-US conflict.
