Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Aug. 1 local time that the country is determined to continue on a path of “resistance and steadfastness” until what it called the enemy’s wrongdoing is completely eliminated. In the statement, Tehran accused the United States of continuing to violate terms of a June 18 U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, including by maintaining a maritime blockade against Iranian ports and commercial vessels. The ministry also said the U.S. has kept launching attacks across Iran while increasing economic pressure and what it described as illegal threats. As a response, Iran said defensive strikes by its armed forces are still continuing at full scale. The statement further claimed that the U.S. and some regional allies used the alleged “incident” involving three ships on July 8 as a pretext to attack Iran and keep those actions going, calling it an attempt to justify breaching bilateral agreements and infringing on Iran’s sovereignty in the Strait of Hormuz. The report was carried by China Central Television and republished by Odaily.
