“Referring to the continuous ceasefire violations by the US. Baqaei insisted on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s determination to take all the necessary measures to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” a foreign ministry statement said.
The Islamic Republic further expressed solidarity with the friendly and brotherly country, Oman, after President Donald Trump threatened to blow them up.
The ministry spokesman condemned the remarks as a worrying sign of the normalisation of anarchy and intimidation in international relations.
DAILY POST recalls that the US forces launched strikes that hit a ground control station in the southern port area of Bandar Abbas.
The strikes triggered a swift response, with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards saying they had targeted the US air base that served as the source of the attack without providing details on its location.
