- Iran does not identify the targets or say where they are located
Iran said it struck targets linked to U.S. forces in response to U.S. airstrikes on its southern coast, which it said violated the U.N. Charter and the war-ending memorandum between the two countries, according to a statement by its foreign ministry.
US strikes Iran following attack on cargo ship in Strait of Hormuz
Iran did not identify the targets or say where they were located.
The development comes a day after the US military attacked Iran on Friday in response to an Iranian drone strike on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said aircraft struck missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites. Iranian media said a projectile struck an area around a pier in Sirik, a city on the shores of the strategic waterway.
Elsewhere, there were signs of progress; however, as Israel and Lebanon signed an agreement to end the fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.
Both sides framed the deal as an initial step that calls for Hezbollah to disarm and Israel to withdraw troops from Lebanon, but it was not clear how it would be enforced. Hezbollah said it would not cooperate.
