US forces carried out fresh overnight strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, with President Donald Trump warning of further action if Iran continues to retaliate.
Iranian state media reported multiple targets were hit, while eyewitnesses in southern Iran said a strike on a wedding gathering in the Sirik area killed five people and injured dozens. The US military said it does not deliberately target civilians.
Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched strikes on US targets in Jordan, as President Masoud Pezeshkian signaled readiness to return to June's ceasefire while vowing continued retaliation if the US air campaign persists.
