Iran condemns US strikes as violation of interim deal

Published June 28, 2026 Updated June 28, 2026 09:54am

Iran has said airstrikes targeted several monitoring and surveillance facilities on Iran’s southern coast, calling the attacks a violation of an interim deal meant to end the four-month-old war between the two countries, AFP reports.

“These brutal attacks … show that the U.S. does not place the slightest value and credibility on its commitments, and breaking promises is part of its nature,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
