Iran, US trade threats as Tehran blames Washington for wedding strike
Iran and the United States traded threats on Wednesday after their heaviest military exchanges in weeks. Tehran accused Washington of striking a wedding party and called the attack a war crime. President Donald Trump threatened further US strikes, while Iran’s security chief warned Washington would face a “new strategy.”
Tehran, September 3 - Iran and the United States have been engaged in a series of military exchanges, including a strike on a wedding party that Tehran attributed to Washington, branding it a "war crime". President Donald Trump claimed US forces carried out a "very heavy attack" on Iranian targets and are prepared to strike again.
Iran's security chief vowed a new strategy in the ongoing war that began in late February. The threat of renewed hostilities was underscored by President Trump's proposal to rename the Strait of Hormuz as "Trump Strait", a move he later suggested was merely a jest. Iran retaliated by targeting US bases in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region.
The incident at the wedding in Iran's south, where four people, including a child, were killed, has drawn international condemnation.
