Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Iran:

“Last night, Israel attacked Kharg Island and Abu Musa Island using the M142 HIMARS artillery rocket system, launched from the territory of our neighbors.

This makes it crystal clear—they are using neighboring territory to strike us, and that is absolutely unacceptable.

Our forces tracked the launches, which came from the United Arab Emirates, specifically Ras Al Khaimah and areas near Dubai.

It is extremely dangerous to use densely populated areas to launch rockets against us.”
