The US military has denied targeting civilians after Iran accused it of killing four people at a wedding near the Iranian city of Sirik.
US Central Command told Reuters that the US military “never attacks civilians,” contrasting its conduct with that of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Iran said the four victims had been attending a wedding, while the Red Crescent reported that 50 people were injured.
The allegation emerged shortly after President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States had launched a broad attack on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran later said it had sent missiles and drones toward targets in the Middle East, including a US military base in Jordan.
The US military never attacks civilians, unlike the Revolutionary Guard.
