Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf slammed the United States after a reported strike hit a wedding in Sirik, southern Iran, killing five people and wounding several others. “If a power acts like Satan, picks targets like Satan, and kills like Satan, it’s Satan,” Ghalibaf said, accusing Washington of responsibility for the attack. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also condemned the United States, describing it as “Satan America”. The US had not immediately commented on Iran’s allegations. The reported strike came amid escalating conflict between Iran and the United States in the Middle East.
