US strikes near Iran's Sirik port kill at least four

Iran’s foreign ministry announced that a series of United States air strikes conducted near the southern port city of Sirik have resulted in the deaths of at least four individuals. The strikes, described by Tehran as “unprovoked,” targeted areas close to the strategic Persian Gulf coastline, prompting the Iranian government to condemn the action as a violation of its sovereignty.

The incident adds to a pattern of heightened military activity in the region, where both sides have previously exchanged fire over maritime security and proxy engagements. While Iranian officials have detailed the casualty figures, U.S. authorities have not issued an immediate response. The development underscores ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, with both nations monitoring the situation closely for potential escalation.
