U.S. military says it's hitting new targets in Iran again
President Donald Trump acknowledged Monday that more strikes might be necessary.
U.S. military forces have launched new strikes against targets in Iran, according to reports. The retaliatory attacks came as tensions between the two nations escalated once more. One U.S. strike occurred at a wedding party, resulting in the death of five people, including a child, and injuring at least 68 others, according to local officials.
This incident took place in Kuhestak, located in southern Iran. The U.S. Central Command confirmed that the latest barrage of attacks targeted military sites, including air defense systems, radar systems, and maritime assets. The conflict has reignited after a period of relative calm, with the U.S. military acting in response to Iran's attempts to target commercial ships and American forces in the Middle East.
