News Clarion synthesisAcross 10 sources
The United States launched strikes against Iran that killed at least 18 people according to Iran's health minister, including at least four people at a wedding party in southern Iran. Iran accused the US of committing a war crime and retaliated by attacking American bases and allies across the Gulf region, including targets in the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Iraq's Kurdistan region. President Trump said the US could strike Iran again anytime, while Iranian officials called the wedding strike a war crime. The escalation marked a collapse of a month-long truce and sent crude oil prices climbing amid renewed Middle East tensions.
