Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that his country is executing “self-defence strikes” against sites “the US is permitted to use to attack civilian shipping and violate the ceasefire”.

“Any hostile act will be met with an immediate, decisive response. What sanctions and war failed to achieve won’t be won with more war,” he states in a post on X.
