The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a formal condemnation following reports of US military strikes targeting Iranian commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman this past Saturday. In an official statement, the ministry described the military action as a direct continuation of what it termed "US military aggression" against the Islamic Republic.

Tehran’s statement further argued that the strikes represent a "clear violation" of the United Nations Charter. The ministry categorized the actions as a war crime and an overt threat to international peace and the security of commercial shipping lanes. While the ministry emphasized that Iran remains determined to respond firmly to these actions, the statement did not provide specific details regarding the extent of the damage to the vessels or potential casualties resulting from the alleged strikes. As of this report, the United States government has not issued a public response or confirmed the occurrence of these specific military engagements in the region. The lack of confirmation from Washington leaves the operational details of the reported incidents unverified by independent international observers.
