五輪銀から4年半、ベビーカーを押して復帰戦 「感覚は残っていた」

In southern Iran, a wedding took place in a civilian home that was subsequently bombed, resulting in a growing fallout over allegations of a possible civilian massacre. The New York Times cited experts who attributed the weapons used to U.S. military forces for the analysis. Iran called for an investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

According to Al Jazeera, on the day before the bombing, the deputy head of Iran's health department in Sirik of Iran’s southern province, confessed that 4 people died and over 68 were injured. Among the deceased were a 4-year-old boy and a 16-year-old. Photos released by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) showed the bombed house, with a hole in the roof and debris scattered around, resembling a fortress.

Ali Malaki, the father of the bride’s mother, expressed his grief to Iran’s state-run media IRIB, saying it was "an unbearable pain." The U.S. conducted airstrikes on Sirik and other areas along Iran's Hormuz Sea, including Hormuzgan, Chabahar, and Konarak, over the course of a night. Iran's health department reported that 18 people died and at least 142 were injured due to U.S. airstrikes since the beginning of last month.

Of the injured, 44 were minors. Iran's negotiating team leader Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf condemned the United States in a social media post, calling it a "devil" that chooses targets and kills people. Stephen P. Johanson, UN spokesperson, expressed deep concern over the attack on Iran's wedding, citing the death of civilians. The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern over the reported civilian casualties during the attack on Iran's wedding.

The U.S. military stated that they never targeted civilians. However, the New York Times reported that weapon debris found at the bombing site was confirmed to be parts of U.S. munitions used in airstrikes in Yemen and Venezuela, based on analysis by Trevor Vol of the U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Vol noted that the tail cone and bolt hole arrays on the debris matched those of U.S. munitions used in previous airstrikes in Yemen and Venezuela.

Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones against U.S. bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, and Jordan the following morning. Jordan's authorities said all 13 missiles were intercepted by the missile defense system or landed in the desert. Meanwhile, former President Trump stated that retaliatory airstrikes on Iran would "not last long."

He responded to a question about how long Iran would retaliate by saying that they had removed all the equipment they had recently built, some defensive and some offensive, in response to Iran's recent buildup of radar, missile, and artillery capabilities along the Hormuz Sea.
