in the strongest terms "flagrant and unjustified" ceasefire violations
by the United States in the Strait of Hormuz.</strong></p>
<p>The foreign ministry warned in a statement on Tuesday that
Washington's true behavior has been exposed once again and that no act
of aggression will go unanswered.</p>
<p>"The perpetration of these aggressive actions, coinciding with the
ongoing diplomatic process mediated by Pakistan, has once again laid
bare the ill-will and bad faith of the United States' ruling
establishment before the Iranian nation, the peoples of the region, and
the international community."</p>
<p>The statement did not elaborate on the violations, but Iranian news
agencies have reported overnight explosion-like sounds in coastal areas
east of Bandar Abbas and near Sirik and Jask.</p>
<p>The CENTCOM spokesman Timothy Hawkins acknowledged that American
forces conducted strikes in southern Iran on Monday, claiming they were
"self-defense strikes" targeting "missile launch sites and Iranian boats
attempting to emplace mines" near the strategic port city of Bandar
Abbas.</p>
<p>The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced Tuesday that its
air defense units shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over Persian Gulf
waters, while also forcing an RQ-4 Global Hawk surveillance drone and an
F-35 stealth fighter to retreat from Iranian airspace.</p>
<p>The Iranian Foreign Ministry placed a premium on the Islamic
Republic\u2019s principled approach across all three arenas, the battlefield,
the streets, and diplomacy. </p>
<p>It said the approach is based on "deep suspicion toward the American
regime, rooted in a profound understanding of its malicious and criminal
nature toward the Iranian people."</p>
<p>The statement condemned the US actions as a clear violation of
Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the UN Charter and the April 8 ceasefire
agreement, holding Washington "responsible for all consequences stemming
from these aggressive acts."</p>
<p>"Without a doubt, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not leave any act
of aggression unanswered, and will not hesitate in the slightest in
defending the essence of Iran" the statement warned.</p>
<p>The latest US attacks come in violation of a Pakistan\u2011brokered
ceasefire agreement that has largely halted the US-Israeli war of
aggression on Iran since early April.</p>
<p>The war of aggression began on February 28 when the US and Israel
launched unprovoked strikes against Iran, assassinating the Leader of
the Islamic Revolution and targeting nuclear facilities, schools and
hospitals.</p>
<p>Iran responded with 100 waves of retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4.</p>
<p>A fragile ceasefire took effect on April 8, but peace talks have
stalled over the US refusal to put a permanent end to the war, lift
sanctions and release frozen assets.</p>
