Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, called the United States “the Great Satan” after a deadly strike on a wedding ceremony in southern Iran. The attack, which occurred late at night in Kuhestak, killed at least four people and injured dozens. Iranian officials condemned the strike, with Ghalibaf expressing strong outrage over the targeting of civilians. The US has been accused of launching aerial bombardments in the region, which Iran claims have led to retaliatory strikes.
Iranian media reported that the US strikes killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Basij forces. In response, Iran has targeted five US bases across the region. Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has called for an investigation into the attack on the wedding ceremony. Tensions have escalated as Iran threatens further retaliation against US allies in the Gulf.
The attack has raised fears of a return to all-out war in the region. Iranian officials have warned that the US’s actions are destabilizing the area and endangering civilian lives. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities. The exact details of the US’s involvement and the full extent of the casualties remain under investigation.
