Iran said on Sunday it was determined to defend its sovereignty after the latest US strikes on the country, as a fragile truce in the US-Israel war in the Middle East hung in the balance.
"Iran strongly condemns the air strikes by the terrorist US army on several monitoring and surveillance facilities on the southern coast of the country in the early hours of Sunday," the Iranian foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that it "stresses its determination to defend Iran's national sovereignty" against US attacks.
Iran and the United States have accused each other of violating their truce, straining negotiations meant to end the war.
US President Donald Trump said earlier that Iran would "no longer exist" if the United States is "forced" to resume the war.
The threat came after US forces said they struck "multiple" Iranian targets in another tit-for-tat response to attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
"United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!" Trump wrote.
