BS News Agency: West Asia drenched in blood again. Several areas of Iran were shaken by continuous American airstrikes on Tuesday. At least five people, including children, were reported dead in a US attack on a wedding in southern Iran. After this horrific attack, Tehran launched a simultaneous counterattack with drones and missiles on various US bases in the Middle East, including Jordan. The long-standing latent conflict has again taken the form of a full-fledged war, creating extreme concern in international politics.
According to local administration sources, a house was destroyed in a sudden US strike during a wedding ceremony in the Kuhestaq and Sirik areas of southern Iran. An innocent child was among the dead, and at least fifty people were injured. Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the National Security Committee of the Iranian parliament, has made it clear that a befitting response will be given to this brutal attack. Although the US Central Command has claimed that their target was never civilians or civilian areas, but rather the operation was carried out to prevent preparations for attacks on commercial ships and US troops in the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump warned on social media that more dire consequences await if Iran strikes again. Tehran responded strongly after the US attack. Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles at a US base on the Gulf of Aqaba coast in Jordan. Jordanian and Kuwaiti air defenses shot down several missiles and drones in mid-air, but Iran claimed the drone attack targeted a US military base in Bahrain. On the other hand, the bombing of Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island and several commercial and civilian infrastructures caused extensive damage.
Although a ceasefire was briefly negotiated in the conflict that began in February this year, it did not last. After Tuesday's bloody attack, the climate in the Middle East has become fiery again. Oil prices have started to rise sharply in the world market. According to geopolitical experts, if this conflict is not stopped soon, it will push the entire global economy into a serious crisis.
