The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Baghaei, stated on his personal social media on the 18th local time that the way the United States attempts to showcase its so-called "strength" is by attacking civilian infrastructure and killing innocent people.

Baghaei said that on the 17th, the U.S. launched an illegal attack on Hormozgan Province, targeting bridges and other objectives, resulting in the deaths of 8 innocent Iranians—4 men and 4 women, including a pair of disabled brothers. The U.S. has once again openly committed war crimes.
