The United States military launched attacks against targets in Iran after approximately a month of ceasefire, according to the U.S. Central Command (Centcom). The strikes were reportedly aimed at members of Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), following alleged Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. forces in the region. Centcom stated that the attacks targeted air defense locations, radar systems, naval assets, mine-laying facilities, and communication points. According to reports by the BBC and Iranian state media, five people were killed in the attack in the southern area of Sirik, including a child, while over 50 others were injured. The shrapnel reportedly hit a house where a wedding celebration was taking place. The U.S. military confirmed awareness of the reports but emphasized it does not target civilians. Meanwhile, Iran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks, including targeting a U.S. Marine base in Jordan’s Akabah. Jordanian armed forces reported intercepting 13 ballistic missiles, destroying 10 and allowing three to fall on unpopulated areas. Iranian authorities later claimed they fired ballistic missiles at two U.
