US strikes Iran, killing four at a wedding party

American forces resumed attacks targeting Iran on Tuesday, August 24, 2026, as US Central Command attributed assaults on shipping to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. A wedding celebration in southern Iran, close to Sirik, was the scene of an assault that, according to state media, resulted in four fatalities, including a four-old child, and left 50 individuals wounded. On August 24, 2026, Donald Trump warned Iran would be hit "much harder" if it retaliated.
