Iran’s foreign ministry has condemned the latest US strikes on the country, saying the attacks rendered the nearly two-month ceasefire “practically meaningless”, AFP reports.

In a statement, the ministry said “the illegal and criminal attacks perpetrated by the United States in recent hours not only constitute a flagrant violation… but also render the ceasefire practically meaningless”.

It added that the “responsibility for the extremely serious consequences of this criminal act lies with the leaders of the United States”.
