Iran will continue to respond “firmly” to US strikes and has no plans for negotiations, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told Iranian media on Wednesday.
“We currently have no plans for negotiations and remain focused on defending the country,” Baghaei told reporters outside a Tehran memorial service for the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son-in-law, according to video from Iran’s Student News Network (SNN).
Baghaei said Iran will not adhere to any agreement if the US “breaches its obligations.”
Soon after SNN reported the spokesperson’s comments, the semi-official Mehr News Agency reported that the US struck Iran’s Hengam Island near the Strait of Hormuz.
The US military on Wednesday also completed another wave of strikes against Iran, US Central Command said in a social media post. They were aimed at degrading its ability to target vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and marked the fifth consecutive day of US attacks against Tehran.
CNN’s Aleena Fayaz contributed to this report.
