Iran has launched attacks at US military bases in Iraq and Jordan, according to local state media and the Jordanian Armed Forces, after American forces resumed strikes against Iran on Tuesday.
The Iranian Red Crescent said a US missile attack had killed four people, including a child, when shrapnel hit a home where a wedding celebration was taking place in Sirik in southern Iran. More than 50 people were injured, it added.
US Central Command (Centcom) said US strikes on Iran followed "recent attempted attacks" by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC said the US would "regret" the strikes. By early Wednesday, it had launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at a US Marine base in Jordan's Aqaba in retaliation for the Sirik attack, according to Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The Jordanian Armed Forces said it had intercepted 13 ballistic missiles, 10 of which were destroyed, while three fell in remote areas. There were no deaths or injuries as a result of the attack from Iran.
