Iran has strongly criticized US President Donald Trump's recent threats and accusations regarding ceasefire violations. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated that the US naval blockade on Iran's ports is an unlawful act that breaches the ceasefire agreement mediated by Pakistan. He emphasized that this blockade violates both the UN Charter and constitutes an act of aggression. Baqaei described the blockade as collective punishment and a war crime against the Iranian people. In response, Trump reiterated claims that Iran has violated the ceasefire, alleging attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. He warned of severe consequences, including the destruction of Iranian infrastructure, if negotiations fail. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain elevated, with Iran stating it will not permit normal maritime traffic until the blockade is lifted. Ongoing mediation efforts are being facilitated through talks in Pakistan.
