The US attacks on Iran are a clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic has stated. US Central Command has previously confirmed strikes on Iran in response to an alleged attack on a merchant ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
Later, the Iranian armed forces attacked several American military facilities in the Middle East. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the US terrorist airstrikes on several targets on the southern coast of Iran on the evening of Friday, June 26, 2026.
These brutal attacks on the facilities of the Iranian coast guard are a gross violation of the UN Charter, as well as a clear violation of the first point of the Memorandum of Understanding," said the statement published on the official Telegram channel of the Ministry. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran notes that the Islamic Republic retaliated based on the country's inalienable right to self-defense.
According to the statement of the Ministry, the responsibility for the consequences of this situation is borne by Washington and the parties that help the USA in its aggression.
