Retaliatory Strikes
Iran announced that its forces launched drone and missile strikes against US military positions in the Gulf and Jordan, as reported by Outlook India. The attacks were described as retaliation for a US attack on Iranian targets on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media reported that the Iranian Army targeted a US base in the UAE with drones, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out a missile-and-drone operation against US bases in Jordan.
According to Fars News, as cited by Sputnik News, the IRGC launched ballistic missile strikes on Camp Titin and RQ-4/MQ-9 drone hangars at Prince Hassan Air Base. The IRGC stated that the strikes caused US casualties and destroyed aircraft and infrastructure.
Background and Context
The strikes followed a US attack on a wedding in Sirik that killed 5 civilians, including a child, and wounded at least 68 people, as reported by Sputnik News, citing Fars News. Iran's IRGC said the United States had attacked Larak Island, killing and wounding Iranian military personnel and civilians, and vowed to retaliate. The IRGC described the attack as aggression and said those responsible would face consequences, according to Outlook India.
In the UAE, a black plume of smoke was seen rising from a warehouse at the industrial area of Sharjah City following reports of Iranian strikes in Dubai, as captured in a photo by Altaf Qadri for AP, used by Outlook India.
Official Statements
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran would respond decisively to aggression and would not remain passive in the face of attacks, as reported by Outlook India. The Iranian leadership has framed the reported attacks as a response to US actions, emphasizing the country's commitment to defending its sovereignty and military personnel.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
