Tehran accused Washington of carrying out 'brutal attacks' on areas in southern Iran under the pretext of the downed Apache helicopter, calling the strikes a serious violation of the UN Charter. The ministry warned that Iran will not hesitate to exercise its right to self-defense, including by striking the launch sites, bases, and logistics infrastructure used to carry out and support offensive operations against Iran.
