US completes latest wave of strikes on Iranian military targets; Iran retaliates and reports civilian casualties
US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the completion of its latest wave of strikes against Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets, including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets, and communications sites. This followed recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and US service members. Iran retaliated by targeting US allies Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait with missiles and drones. Iranian officials claim a US strike hit a wedding party, killing several civilians, including a child, and wounding over 50, an accusation the US military denies, stating it 'never targets civilians.' Jordan's military reported intercepting 10 Iranian ballistic missiles.
