Iran’s foreign ministry denounces US strikes against Iran, saying they target civilian infrastructure including railway bridges. In a statement on Thursday, Iran says the attacks hit several locations in southern coastal provinces and two bridges in eastern provinces along the railway route to the holy city of Mashhad. The ministry calls the strikes an illegal attack on civilian targets and describes them as a “gross war crime.” It also says it “condemns in the strongest terms” the “aggressive attacks by the US” on the affected points and characterizes the US administration in highly negative terms.
The sources provided focus on Iran’s position and do not include a response from the United States or independent verification of the strikes’ targets. The reports agree that Iran cites damage to railway bridges and other civilian infrastructure and that Iran frames the issue under international humanitarian law, presenting the strikes as unlawful.
