Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US targets in Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain after American forces resumed strikes against Iran. Tehran’s retaliation came after Iranian authorities said a US missile strike hit a home hosting a wedding in Sirik, southern Iran, killing five people, including a child, and injuring more than 50. The US military said it was aware of the reports but insisted it never targets civilians. Iran fired ballistic missiles at a US Marine base in Jordan, while strikes were also reported in Kuwait, Bahrain and Iraq. Jordan said it intercepted most of the missiles. (PC: BBC)
