Tehran Condemns US Strikes on Its Southern Coasts, Deeming Them a Violation of Understandings

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the airstrikes carried out by the US military targeting coastal surveillance points and facilities on Iran's southern coasts. In an official statement, the ministry considered these attacks a clear violation of the first clause of the recently concluded memorandum of understanding. It also noted that the attacks carried out by the Zionist entity on Lebanon in coordination with Washington fall under the same violations. In a subsequent development, Iranian military forces announced the execution of retaliatory operations targeting US positions and bases in the region using missiles and drones, raising concerns about the region sliding into a broader military escalation.
