[^1]\n\nIran attacked US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region on Thursday. [^2]\n\nPresident Donald Trump stated on Thursday that his military was prepared to attack Iran 'any time we want' following US bombardment that killed at least 19 Iranians. [^3]\n\nAn analysis published by Reuters on Thursday suggests the explosion at the wedding in southern Iran was likely caused by a direct impact from a US projectile rather than a deflection from another target. [^4]\n\nUS Vice President JD Vance stated on Thursday that the United States is investigating a deadly attack on an Iranian wedding that occurred earlier in the week. [^5]\n\nThe US struck Iranian targets on Sunday, the first known strikes in several weeks, claiming the goal was to stop Tehran from placing sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. [^6]\n\nIranian authorities indicated that nearly 70 people were injured in the attack. [^7]\n\nIranian state television reported on Thursday that a 22-year-old woman died in the hospital after the attack hit a residence during the wedding, raising the total number of fatalities to five.
