Tehran has condemned Monday’s strikes in its southern province as officials met with mediators in Qatar

Iran has accused the US of violating the ceasefire after American fighter jets struck targets in the country’s southern Hormozgan province.

On Monday, US Central Command said American forces had carried out “self-defense strikes” on missile sites and naval vessels attempting to mine the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian media, several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval speedboats were targeted, and at least three sailors were killed in what was the largest military clash with the US since the May 7 strikes in southern Iran.

Seyyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, said the attack constituted a breach of the fragile truce reached on April 8.
