"They must adopt effective and decisive measures to stop the illegal act of aggression by the U.S. They must prevent any further escalation," Iravani stated outside the Security Council. He further insisted that the UN must ensure Washington "fully complies with its obligations and is held accountable for its aggression."

The U.S. restarted its offensive against Iran days ago in response to an Iranian attack on two cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Washington considered this a breach of the memorandum of understanding signed on June 17. In retaliation, Tehran reportedly bombed U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.

Iravani claimed sole responsibility for Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any interference would jeopardize maritime security and heighten regional tensions. He reiterated Iran's commitment to the memorandum, provided the U.S. fully upholds its end. However, he cautioned that if the U.S. continues to violate its obligations, Iran will cease to be bound by its own commitments. This statement comes after U.S. President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire agreement over, despite previously indicating a willingness to continue negotiations.
