Iran: US attacks have rendered months of diplomatic efforts useless

Iran's Foreign Ministry declared that recent U.S. airstrikes have nullified months of diplomatic work aimed at fostering peace in the region. In a statement released early Monday, the ministry condemned the attacks as a "barbaric violation" of the UN Charter and a severe threat to global peace and security.

The ministry asserted that the U.S. actions have undone all efforts to de-escalate tensions and promote peace in the West Asian region. It further accused the U.S. of reintroducing uncertainty into the Strait of Hormuz and disrupting international shipping by interfering with Iran's necessary measures.

These barbaric attacks are not only a gross violation of the fundamental principles of the UN Charter but also a serious threat to international peace and security.

The latest wave of U.S. attacks began Sunday evening. The U.S. Central Command (Centcom) has justified these strikes by pointing to Iran's behavior in the Strait of Hormuz, specifically citing actions by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against commercial vessels in the crucial waterway.

The American regime has also caused uncertainty to return to the Strait of Hormuz, and international shipping traffic has been disrupted by openly interfering with Iran's implementation of necessary measures.
