  "summary": "The US military launched strikes on targets in Iran, prompting Tehran to retaliate with missile and drone attacks on various sites across the region. According to Iran's state media, the US attack on Larak Island killed three people and wounded several Iranian fighters and civilians. The US strikes also hit a home hosting a wedding, killing five people and wounding dozens, local officials said, as reported by The Mainichi.\n\nIranian media reported explosions in several areas, including Qeshm Island, Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, Sistan-Baluchistan, and Hormozgan, following the US attacks. Iran also claimed to have attacked US bases in Jordan and US military targets at the Al Menhad airbase in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), although the UAE's Defence Ministry rejected the latter claim.\n\nUS President Donald Trump warned that if Iran retaliates, the US will hit back \"at a much harder and higher level\". Trump also said that the Strait of Hormuz is in \"extremely good shape\", while Iran's economy, military, and leadership have been largely deteriorated.",
