# Iran’s Foreign Affairs Ministry has accused the US of committing numerous war crimes, particularly by targeting civilian facilities and infrastructure. The US military has carried out several strikes in Iran this week, targeting command centres, air defence sites, and coastal surveillance facilities, and also degrading the country’s ability to threaten ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has launched retaliatory attacks on US allies in the region. The Foreign Ministry has defended its strikes on neighbouring nations, saying they are consistent with the country’s lawful right of self-defence under international law.
