By Press TV Website Staff

Several locations in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan came under fresh US attack, prompting retaliatory operations by Iran’s armed forces against American military bases and assets in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) also shot down a US MQ-9 drone near the Strait of Hormuz, while Iranian officials vowed a decisive response to continued US aggression and reaffirmed the country’s determination to defend its rights, infrastructure and national sovereignty.

Iran also rejected a new 'flawed" IAEA Board of Governors resolution, describing it and related UN actions as politically motivated measures lacking a legal basis.
