Military strikes Iran, while Trump vows more for Tehran's retaliation

U.S. military strikes hit targets in Iran on Tuesday, as Tehran responded with missiles and drones across the region amid renewed hostilities after more than six months of intermittent conflict. One U.S. strike struck a home hosting a wedding in Iran, killing five people and wounding dozens, local officials said. U.S. Central Command said the latest barrage targeted Iranian military sites including air-defense positions, radar systems and maritime assets, following Sunday strikes that ended a month without military action. President Donald Trump said he would not force Iran to the bargaining table, arguing the U.S. has “almost total control of the Hormuz Strait” and citing Iran’s weakened economy, while threatening that further retaliation would bring “harder and higher” strikes. Central Command said the attacks followed Iranian attempts to hit commercial ships and American forces. After the U.S. strikes began, Iran launched ballistic missiles at Jordan; Jordan said it shot down 10, with three landing in unpopulated areas. Iranian state media also reported U.S. strikes against civilian sites and a civilian airport, while a U.S. strike in Kuhestak in southern Iran killed five, including a child, and wounded at least 68, according to Iranian officials.
