Iran warns countries against joining US aggression under pretexts of maritime security

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baqaei warned that any direct or indirect participation in US military aggression or economic terrorism against Iran, including the deployment of naval units or support forces and equipment, would constitute an unlawful act of aggression and entail responsibility for its consequences. In a post on X, he stressed that misleading labels such as “protecting shipping” or “combating piracy” cannot change the hostile and illegal nature of such actions.
