A reported US attack near Sirik in southern Iran has hit a wedding gathering, with children among the casualties and dozens of people taken to hospital. Iranian officials described the strike as an attack on civilians, while the US says its latest strikes targeted air-defence sites, radar systems, maritime assets and mine-laying capabilities in response to attempted Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps quickly retaliated with attacks on US military sites across the Middle East. Bahrain and Kuwait issued alerts over possible attacks, while Jordan said it intercepted 10 of 13 missiles fired into its airspace, with the other three falling in remote areas. As mediators push to revive US-Iran negotiations, civilians in Iran are once again caught in the crossfire. Al Jazeera's Caley Callahan reports.
