In a statement, the ministry declared that "the illegal and criminal attacks carried out by the United States in recent hours not only a flagrant violation... but they also make the ceasefire practically meaningless."
The note also says that "responsibility for the extremely serious consequences of this criminal act lies with the leaders of the United States."
On Wednesday night (10), the United States carried out a new wave of bombings against Iranian territory, said the Central Command of the North American Army. In response, Iran said the Strait of Hormuz is closed and attacked two ships.
"US Central Command forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 6:15 p.m. [Brasília time] against multiple targets in Iran on the orders of the commander in chief. The strikes are in response to Iran's continued unwarranted aggression," Centcom said in a statement.
India's embassy in Oman said it has become aware of an incident involving a vessel nearby to the port of Shinas, in Oman, which took place this Thursday. They said they were closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with local authorities to obtain more details. The Iranian news agency Tasnim states that three sailors died.
On the Fox News TV network, US President Donald Trump said that American fighter jets were operating in the skies over Iran. He said he had spoken to Iranian authorities this Wednesday, who allegedly "had asked for the bombings to stop". He said Israel was not involved in the mission and did not rule out further military action in the country.
Tehran denied that such talks had taken place.
According to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the country's forces carried out retaliatory strikes on the US Fifth Fleet, which is based in Bahrain.
"IRGC forces struck and destroyed eighteen important targets belonging to the American army at the Ali Salem and Ahmad Al-Jaber air bases, as well as the Sheikh air base Isa, during two operational waves", says a statement.
Explosions were heard in Manama, the Bahraini capital, and in Hamad Town.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry reported that the attacks left an 11-year-old child injured. Vehicles caught fire and houses were damaged due to falling debris from intercepted drones.
Civil Defense and the National Ambulance Service took the necessary measures, according to the ministry.

This was the second day in a row that the US has launched bombings against Iran since the beginning of the ceasefire in the war between the two countries. According to Washington, the first wave of attacks occurred in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter by Iran. It is not yet known what impact this Wednesday's attacks will have on the truce in the conflict, which has been fragile since its beginning in April.
Iranian state agencies reported several explosions in Bandar Abbas, Minab, Kargan and Sirik, port cities in the Strait of Hormuz region, and that air defenses were activated in Isfahan.

The Mehr agency spoke of "fights at sea" between Iranian and North American forces, but did not give further details.
A North American official told the website Axios that all the targets hit were in the south of Iran and included air defense systems, radars and drone command and control units.
Almost two hours after the US attack, the Iranian government again said that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to any type of ship, and that it fired on two vessels that said it was violating its blockade.
Earlier, Iran had also promised a "tough response" against US targets in the Middle East, and said that further escalation of the conflict would not be restricted to the Middle East alone. On Tuesday, Tehran attacked the US base in Bahrain in retaliation.
The US attack came hours after President Donald Trump said his Army would attack Iran again "later today." US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the bombings would be "clear strong" and would hit "key installations" in Iran. Hegseth, however, did not give details about which installations these were.
Also according to Hegseth, Wednesday's attacks would advance US military interests in the Middle East and help Washington reach a diplomatic solution to the war. Iran said earlier, however, that the country does not negotiate under threats.
