Iran Red Crescent says US strike hit wedding ceremony in Hormozgan, two killed

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's Red Crescent said two people were killed and 20 wounded when a US strike hit a wedding gathering in the Sarik area of Hormozgan province. The Iranian aid organization reported the casualties from the attack, which Iranian officials say occurred during a wedding ceremony. Separately, Iranian state television reported a new explosion was heard in the port city of Chabahar in southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province, providing no immediate details on casualties or the cause. Iran's General Staff said it would deliver "harsh blows" against the United States in response to US strikes on Hormozgan and Sistan-Baluchestan provinces. A security official in neighboring Khuzestan, cited by Iranian media, said a missile attack was carried out against an area around the provincial capital Ahvaz, with the strikes attributed to US forces. The report did not specify a target or provide immediate confirmation from the US side. US President Donald Trump warned Iran against retaliating against the latest US strikes, saying any response would trigger "far more severe" attacks. Trump added that if escalation continues, Iran could be "wiped out completely" as a state.
