The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a formal condemnation regarding recent United States military strikes against Iranian oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. Tehran characterized these actions as a violation of international law and the UN Charter, labeling them as economic warfare. In response, the Iranian Armed Forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy launched retaliatory operations, targeting US military facilities in Jordan and several vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials emphasized their commitment to exercising self-defense to protect national sovereignty and interests. The government has also called upon the United Nations Security Council and the Secretary-General to address the escalating regional tensions, which they argue pose a significant threat to global maritime security and international peace.
