Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the US strikes on several locations along Iran’s southern coastline, accusing Washington of violating the UN Charter and the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on ending the war, AlJazeera reports.

The ministry said the attacks targeted coastal surveillance facilities and reaffirmed Iran’s right to self-defence, stating that its armed forces carried out retaliatory strikes against US-related targets.

Iran also called on the Gulf states to prevent their territory from being used for hostile actions and urged the UN and international bodies to address what it described as breaches of international law.
