Iranian Foreign Ministry describes US strikes as 'savage military aggression'

Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday condemned the United States' strikes on three of its nuclear sites, describing the operation as "savage military aggression" against its "peaceful nuclear facilities."

"The Islamic Republic holds the warmongering and lawless #USA government fully responsible for the extremely dangerous consequences of this grave crime," the foreign ministry stated, in part.

The statement accuses the U.S. of conducting the strikes in collusion with "the genocidal Zionist regime," which is Israel.

"The U.S. assault on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, committed in the early hours of the tenth day of Israel’s military aggression against Iran, has laid bare the criminal collaboration and direct participation of the United States with the Zionist regime in planning and executing military attacks against Iran," the statement said.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry also called on the United Nations Security Council to condemn America's aggression against Iran and to hold the U.S. accountable for violating "international norms and principles."

Toward the end of the statement, Iran's foreign ministry said the United States has "launched a dangerous war against Iran" and said it's clear that America does not adhere to rules or ethics.
