The US attack on a wedding party in southern Iran is the latest chapter in a decades-long history of such deliberate strikes – from Afghanistan to Iraq and now Iran – that have killed hundreds of civilians and turned moments of celebration into grief and mourning.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society says the attack could amount to a war crime if an ICC probe finds that the wedding venue and those present were civilians.

From the Minab school massacre in February to the Kouhestak wedding carnage last night, the American war machine has repeatedly and deliberately targeted civilian spaces amid the ongoing war of aggression against Iran, proving that for Washington no red lines exist.

Iran has permanently transformed the Strait of Hormuz into an instrument of national power following the recent imposed war, rejecting any return to pre-war status while establishing a new mechanism with Oman that effectively ends American naval hegemony in the Persian Gulf.

The Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective (AISC) has strongly condemned an open letter published by The Guardian, noting that its Western academic and signatories have distorted history and provided “ideological cover” for the intensification of the war against Iran.

Six months into Trump’s war of aggression against Iran, the US is confronting a “beyond critical” shortage of Patriot missile interceptors in Europe, accoring to a report.

Iran and Oman say they have discussed a phased framework to restore safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, including a temporary joint maritime corridor and a joint project to clear mines from the strategic waterway.
