President Donald Trump warned of additional attacks on Iran after U.S. strikes that Iranian officials say hit a wedding, killing four people, including two children.
The White House announced that U.S. forces carried out strikes which Iran claims struck a wedding ceremony, resulting in four fatalities, among them two youngsters. In response, President Donald Trump asserted that the United States monitors all Iranian activity and threatened further military action. He also stated that the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz and has neutralized an Iranian mine-laying rocket.
