Iran says it struck US-linked targets in response to US attacks

Reuters: 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.

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.
