  "account": "Tehran, Iran - Iran unleashed a wave of attacks on U.S. sites across the Middle East on Wednesday, escalating violence following extensive American bombardment and the deaths of four individuals at an Iranian wedding. The Revolutionary Guards reported strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, marking the most intense exchange in six months. The U.S. President had warned of even harsher attacks in response to Iran's retaliation to the initial strikes, which Iran claimed killed 18 people. The renewed conflict deepens the impasse, with Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz oil export route and the U.S. pressing a counter-blockade of Iranian ports. Four people, including a child, were reported killed and over 50 wounded in the latest attack on a wedding in Iran's southern Sirik county. Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, denounced the U.S. as \"Satan,\" while the U.S. military emphasized never targeting civilians. The conflict began in late February with U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, followed by a fragile ceasefire that collapsed after attacks on commercial ships in the Hormuz Strait. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed to match any U.S. moves, warning that a return to pressure and threats could derail diplomatic efforts.",
