At Least Four People Killed in Iran when a US Strike Hit a House Where a Wedding Was Taking Place
Iranian officials said the strike killed at least four civilians, including a child, and injured about 50 others, deepening tensions with Washington.
- On Tuesday, U.S. airstrikes in the coastal city of Bandar Kuhestak, Iran, struck a residential home during a wedding ceremony, killing at least two people and wounding dozens, according to Hormozgan province deputy governor Ahmad Nafisi.
- Central Command stated the strikes targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces attempting to place mines in the Strait of Hormuz, following recent Iranian aggression against commercial shipping and American service members deployed in the region.
- The IRGC vowed to deliver "crushing" blows against U.S. forces, with spokesperson Sardar Mohebi warning Washington would face heavier losses, ending a month-long lull in the intermittent six-month conflict.
- President Donald Trump defended the large strikes as retaliation for failed Iranian sea mine attempts and missile attacks on a U.S. military base in Jordan, threatening further action if the "failed Nation" of Iran retaliates.
- While Iranian state media reported two deaths, a regional official told Mehr the strike killed four civilians, including a child; the U.S. military has attempted to cast the renewed fighting as limited, though casualties remain disputed.
