Iran’s foreign ministry said on Sept. 2 it strongly condemned US military action, accusing US forces of striking multiple non-military sites and civilian infrastructure — including ports and communications facilities — across Khuzestan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan and Kerman provinces, causing casualties and property damage. The ministry said an attack in Sirik county, Hormozgan, on a wedding left more than 70 people dead or wounded, mostly women and children. It called the strikes violations of international law and said Iran’s armed forces, citing the UN Charter right of self‑defense, had carried out defensive and deterrent strikes on US military bases they identified as launch and logistics hubs for the attacks. Iran urged regional states to prevent US use of their territory and airspace for strikes on Iran and asked the UN Security Council and secretary‑general to act to prevent further escalation.
