Iran Reports Civilian Deaths After US Strikes Hit Qeshm Island
Iranian state media say US strikes hit targets on Qeshm Island in southern Iran, causing major damage to infrastructure and a residential area. US Central Command said the operation targeted IRGC command centres, missile and drone facilities, and coastal surveillance sites. The strikes were described as a response to alleged Iranian attacks on US forces in Jordan. Iranian reports said three civilians, including a couple and their two-year-old child, were killed. Two other children were reportedly injured, while rescue workers searched a damaged building. A strike on the electricity grid also reportedly caused a temporary blackout. Qeshm Island overlooks the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil and gas shipments.
