The Iranian Foreign Ministry accused the United States of causing "harm" to ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war, following the American strikes that targeted southern Iran. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said in a video clip broadcast by Iranian media, “Unfortunately, the United States is causing harm to this diplomatic process through its contradictory messages, its repeated changes in positions and demands, and worst of all, through its repeated violations of the ceasefire.” He added, “Any diplomatic process is harmed by the use of...  Force and resort to unlawful actions on the ground.”
