Iran’s armed forces have dealt a heavy blow to US bases and assets in the region that were the origin of American aggression against Iran, the Foreign Ministry says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The escalation began in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the ministry said, when the US carried out “savage attacks” on areas in southern Iran under the pretext that one of its Apache helicopters had crashed over the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

“These attacks constitute a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, particularly Article 2, Paragraph 4, and the fundamental rule prohibiting the use of force in international relations,” the ministry’s statement said.<\/p>\n

“With these aggressive actions, the US ruling administration once again demonstrated its criminal and warmongering nature.”<\/p>\n

In response to the military aggression and the violation of Iran’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the country’s “powerful armed forces” struck US bases and assets in the region that were the origin of these aggressions, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

The ministry added that the strikes were carried out in exercise of Iran’s “inherent right to self-defense,” following an announcement by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps that it had launched missile attacks on four US\u00a0targets in Jordan and destroyed an F-35 hangar.<\/p>\n

In the early days of the war, the U.S. Air Force positioned its F-35A Lightning II fighters on this tarmac at Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether they\u2019re still there, but if they are, a strike on that site would likely cause significant damage. https:\/\/t.co\/GXAPH5lwrf<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/vkVxCZynqX<\/a><\/p>\n
