Iran Attacks U.S. Bases After CENTCOM Strike Kills 5 at Wedding
The Revolutionary Guard said missile and drone attacks hit U.S. sites in four countries after a strike killed at least five people at a wedding.
- On Wednesday, Iran launched missile and drone strikes against United States bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq, and Kuwait, retaliating for a United States military strike one day prior that killed five people at a wedding.
- The American military bombed a residential home in Sirik on Tuesday, killing five people at a wedding and injuring more than 60 others when shrapnel struck the building.
- Ten of 13 incoming ballistic missiles were destroyed by the Jordan Armed Forces, while the IRGC claimed to strike "the headquarters and residence of the American commander at Ali Al Salem Air Base" in Kuwait.
- Ebrahim Azizi, head of Iran's national security commission, said the strike was "the ultimate proof of the utter desperation of the fake defenders of human rights," vowing "these crimes will not go unpunished."
- CENTCOM stated Tuesday that its strikes "follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," while President Donald Trump boasted of "almost total control" of the waterway.
