DUBAI — Iran fired ballistic missiles and drones at U.S.-linked military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates overnight, and Iranian state television said a U.S. airstrike killed at least four people and wounded dozens more at a wedding party in southern Hormozgan province, in the widest exchange between the two countries since July.

The overnight barrage pushed the seventh month of the U.S.-Iran war deeper into Gulf capitals, hit a residential complex in Kuwait City for the first time and put civilian casualties back at the center of the diplomatic argument, days after President Trump said he was no longer interested in a negotiated end to the war.

The Sirik strike

Iran's foreign ministry said a U.S. strike on Tuesday evening hit a private home in the Sirik district of Hormozgan province, killing and wounding some 50 people. State broadcaster IRIB put the toll at just under 70, with six in critical condition, and said one missile crashed through the roof of the room where the party was underway, leaving a roughly 5-foot crater in the floor. IRIB interviewed a fisherman it identified as Mr. Malahi, who said the wedding was for his daughter.

U.S. Central Command did not confirm or deny that an American strike hit the wedding. CENTCOM spokesman Commander Tim Hawkins told CBS News, "We're aware of the reports, which originated from Iranian state media," and added, "The U.S. military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC," a reference to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said on X that the home "was brutally attacked tonight while families were celebrating a wedding. More than 50 innocent men, women and children were martyred or wounded." He called the strike the latest in a "chain of atrocities" that included a March U.S. strike on a school in Minab. A person briefed on preliminary intelligence told CBS News at the time that the U.S. was likely responsible but may have relied on dated intelligence that misidentified the area.

Four countries hit

The IRGC and Iran's central military command said they had targeted seven sites hosting U.S. forces, including Camp Tabrin and Prince Hassan Base in Jordan, Ali Al Salem in Kuwait, the U.S. Naval Base in Bahrain, Al Dhafra and Al Minhad in the U.A.E. and the U.S. facility in Erbil, Iraq.

Jordan's armed forces said 13 ballistic missiles were detected, 10 were intercepted and three fell in remote areas, with no injuries. Bahrain's state news agency confirmed Iranian drones were intercepted. Kuwait Fire Force spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammed Al-Gharib said crews brought under control an early-Wednesday blaze at a Kuwait City residential complex hit by "a hostile drone as part of the criminal Iranian aggression," with no casualties and only limited damage. The U.S. military did not confirm that Iranian weapons hit any base.

What the U.S. hit

CENTCOM said Tuesday evening that its operations were complete and that "U.S. forces struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets and facilities, mine laying capabilities, and communications sites." Mr. Trump had warned on Fox News: "If they retaliate, they'll be hit much harder. And if they do it again, they'll be no longer."

Sunday's smaller exchange, which struck Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island and drew Jordan and the U.A.E. into the fight, had ended a monthlong lull. Brent crude, which closed at $89.79 a barrel Sunday, traded around $95 early Wednesday; West Texas Intermediate was above $90. Both benchmarks sit about 40 percent higher than a year ago.

Where the reporting stands

The account of Tuesday's U.S. operations reaches this report through CENTCOM statements picked up by CBS News; Iran's casualty and target claims come from IRIB, the foreign ministry and semi-official Fars and Tasnim reports. Independent verification of the Sirik strike was not available Wednesday. Mr. Trump on Tuesday said that "I think an agreement with them isn't worth the paper it's written on" and asked in a Truth Social post, "When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight?"

Iran's foreign ministry said Wednesday that Iran would "respond to these savage crimes with firmness."
