After the agonizing and highly publicized signing of a peace memorandum by the presidents of the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world breathed a sigh of relief and thought—really?—that dialogue had triumphed.
But… only a few days passed and—as has happened on previous occasions—the calm has been shattered by gunfire and death.
The United States resumed its bombing campaign against Persian territory, and the President of the imperial government, who ordered the new attacks as he had done before, dropped another bombshell, perhaps worse than the nuclear one, by threatening that "Iran will cease to exist!"
The president has warned that a moment could come when the U.S. will have to “finish the job militarily,” according to an RT report.
The same media outlet reported on Sunday that "U.S. aircraft have just attacked Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, as well as coastal radar stations, located in the southern port city of Sirik, facing the Strait of Hormuz."
It was also reported that a village on Qeshm Island, on the shores of the same waterway, was bombed.
For its part, the Sputnik news agency quoted statements from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which "strongly condemns the airstrikes carried out by the terrorist U.S. army in the early hours of Sunday against several monitoring and surveillance facilities located on the southern coasts of the country."
According to the statement, "these brutal attacks constitute a flagrant violation of Article 4, Clause 2 of the Charter of the United Nations, as well as an explicit breach of Clause 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding for the end of the imposed war."
These aggressions, the Iranian Foreign Ministry statement notes, "demonstrate that the U.S. government places no value or credibility whatsoever on its commitments and that breaking its promises is inherent to the nature of that regime."
Similarly, the head of Iran’s judiciary declared the U.S. proclamation in defense of human rights "ridiculous and absurd."
In this context of renewed military confrontation, and as the saying goes, “it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good,” Israel, a key ally in U.S. crimes, continued its bombing campaign against southern Lebanon on Sunday, killing and wounding Palestinians in Gaza as a result of airstrikes by Tel Aviv forces.
