Iran accuses US of 'blatant violation' of truce after overnight clash

Iran accused the United States on Friday of breaching their truce, as both sides blamed the other for triggering an overnight clash in the Strait of Hormuz.

"The action carried out last night was both a blatant violation of international law and a breach of the ceasefire," foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said, according to the ISNA news agency.

"At the same time, the country's defenders delivered a 'major slap' to the enemy and repelled the enemies' aggression with full force," he continued.
