Iran on Saturday condemned the United States' attacks on a number of locations along its southern coast and accused Washington of violating the United Nations Charter (UN) and the newly signed pact to end the war.
In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the attack targeted surveillance facilities in coastal areas. Tehran also reaffirmed its right to self-defense, stating that its armed forces had launched a retaliatory attack on targets related to the United States.
The ministry also urged countries in the Gulf region to prevent aggressors from using their territory and facilities to carry out acts of aggression against Iran.
In addition, Iran called on the United Nations and international institutions not to be indifferent to blatant violations of international law.
The United States said late on Friday that its forces had struck Iranian missile, drone and radar storage sites after accusing Tehran of being behind an attack on a commercial vessel sailing through the Strait of Hormuz.
In response, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that its navy had attacked a number of US military positions in the region and warned that it would provide a stronger response if the escalation continued.
Earlier this month, Tehran and Washington reached a 14-point memorandum of understanding mediated by Pakistan, and it came into force on June 18 after being signed electronically by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump.
The agreement, as reported by Antara from Sputnik, includes a cessation of hostilities on various fronts, including in Lebanon, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of the United States naval blockade against Iran.
The two countries also agreed to continue negotiations for 60 days to reach a more comprehensive and long-term agreement.
