The United States has launched massive new strikes against Iran, hitting targets along the coast and reportedly striking a wedding ceremony in Syric, in southern Iran's Hormozgan province, killing four people including a child and wounding at least fifty others. Iran has retaliated with strikes of its own, including a direct hit on the King Hussein International Airbase in Aqaba, Jordan, used by U.S. forces. The IRGC later claimed it hit Camp Titan, a U.S. Marine base on the Gulf of Aqaba coast, asserting a large number of American personnel were in the vicinity and that an attack helicopter was destroyed. This escalation follows earlier U.S. strikes that targeted a girls' school in Minab and a volleyball hall in Lamerd, both of which killed children.
