Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has accused the United States of committing an act of aggression against an Iranian commercial vessel through its naval blockade enforcement. Baqaei stated that Washington's recent actions, including breaking commitments on Lebanon and imposing the blockade, constitute a clear violation under UN resolutions. He further argued that this contradictory behavior shows the US lacks seriousness in diplomacy, deepening Iranian distrust. Iran will therefore make an appropriate decision on continuing negotiations, prioritizing its national interests.
