President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations last month aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.

The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange relatively limited strikes despite the signing of the memorandum and amid the continuation of peace talks.

'No action against Iran should go unanswered,' Iranian official says

Following a wave of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets on Sunday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi released a statement, saying, "No action against Iran should go unanswered."

A spokesperson for the foreign minister also called the U.S and Israel's attacks "the continuation of a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression."

Addressing Iran's strikes on American assets in the Middle East, the spokesperson said, "Iran’s strikes on U.S. military bases and assets stationed in the southern Persian Gulf constitute a legitimate and lawful exercise of its inherent right to self-defense under international law."

The U.S. conducted a new round of strikes on Iranian targets on Sunday, a U.S. official told ABC News.

The targets included Iranian air defense systems and IRGC small boats around the Strait of Hormuz, the official said.

The strikes were intended to degrade Iran’s ability to target commercial shipping, according to the official, who said no U.S. troops were wounded in the attacks.
