Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf condemned the United States as the "Great Satan" after Middle East Eye reported a U.S. strike on a wedding in Kuhestak killed at least four people, including children, and wounded dozens more. The attack is the latest flashpoint in escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington, with Iranian officials framing it as part of a broader pattern of civilian targeting.
In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it launched drone and missile strikes on U.S. bases across the Middle East, including facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and Iraq's Kurdistan region. U.S. Central Command denied targeting civilians and stated the military never intentionally strikes noncombatants, contrasting sharply with Iran's accusations.
Wedding Strike Triggers Fury From Iranian Leadership
The Kuhestak wedding strike left at least four dead and over 50 wounded, according to All Sides. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Ahmad Vahidi vowed the attack "will not go unanswered," calling it a war crime. Times of Israel confirmed Vahidi's statement, noting the death toll included two children among the victims.
Iran Points to Months of Attacks on Schools and Public Spaces
The wedding strike is not isolated. Middle East Eye reports Iran links the Kuhestak attack to earlier U.S. strikes on an elementary school in Minab that killed over 150 people, mostly children, and a sports hall in Lamerd that killed at least 21. Tehran argues these incidents show a systematic pattern of civilian targeting by the United States.
Iran's Retaliation Targets U.S. Military Bases Across Region
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they struck the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, targeting the command post and accommodation areas. Times of Israel reports Iran claimed the strikes killed U.S. personnel and destroyed drones and other military facilities. The IRGC said it also launched attacks on bases in Bahrain, the UAE, and Iraqi Kurdistan.
U.S. Denies Civilian Targeting as Rhetoric Intensifies
U.S. Central Command rejected claims that American forces deliberately target civilians and stated the U.S. military is investigating the wedding strike reports. The denial underscores the deep divide between Washington and Tehran over who bears responsibility for civilian deaths, with each side accusing the other of deliberate attacks on noncombatants.
