Iranian Foreign Ministry regarding the aggressive actions of the US against Iran: 'In the early hours of Wednesday, under the pretext of the crash of a US army Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, the US regime carried out brutal attacks against areas in the south of the country. These attacks constitute a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter, especially paragraph 4 of Article 2, and the fundamental rule prohibiting the use of force in international relations.'
