Iran declared on June 27 that it launched strikes against targets with ties to U.S. forces, framing the action as retaliation for American airstrikes carried out along the country’s southern coastline.
According to a statement released by Iran’s foreign ministry, the U.S. airstrikes were a violation of the United Nations Charter as well as a war-ending memorandum that had been reached between the two countries.
Iran provided no additional details about what was hit or where the targeted locations were situated.
