Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned the latest US military strikes in southern Iran, describing them as a "gross violation" of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and warning neighbouring countries against allowing their territory to be used for attacks on the Islamic Republic.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the ministry said the United States carried out "aggressive attacks and gross violation of the Memorandum of Understanding" following the overnight strikes.

According to the ministry, "the terrorist US military, in clear violation of Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the United Nations Charter, committed military aggression against several monitoring and surveillance centres on the southern coasts of Iran."

It said the strikes "constitute a flagrant violation of Paragraph 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Termination of War, which mandates the cessation of military operations."

The ministry also stressed "the international legal obligation of all governments, particularly neighbouring countries located on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, to prevent aggressor parties from utilising their territory and facilities to conduct aggressive acts against the Islamic Republic of Iran."

It further warned that "any cooperation in committing the crime of aggression against Iran constitutes complicity and participation in the crime."

Calling on the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary-General to fulfil their responsibilities, the ministry said Iran's armed forces "will not hesitate in defending Iran's territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and national security against US military aggression in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, and will target the source and origin of the aggression," according to the statement.
