BIran's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday accused the US of carrying out attacks on an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a communications tower on Qeshm Island from bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
In a statement carried by the semi-official Fars News Agency, the ministry said it "strongly condemns" what it described as an "aggressive action by the terrorist US military" against the tanker and the communications facility.

It accused Washington of using the territory and facilities of regional countries to carry out military operations against Iran, saying the governments of Kuwait and Bahrain bear "direct and clear responsibility" for the attacks.
