2,000-pound US bomb hits Iran family home; Centcom says 'we never target civilians'

A U.S. airstrike on Iran's Qeshm Island struck a family home in a densely populated neighborhood, killing three members of the Jafari family and injuring others. According to an analysis by The New York Times, the attack involved a 2,000-pound Mark-84 bomb, one of the largest conventional weapons used by the U.S. military. The strike occurred in the early hours of Thursday and reportedly targeted areas without nearby military facilities. The U.S. Central Command acknowledged awareness of civilian casualties but did not confirm the exact target or measures taken to avoid harming civilians. The incident has sparked concerns over the use of such a powerful weapon in a residential area and raised questions about the U.S. military's intent.
