Iranian state media shared photos and videos from Qeshm Island, where it said search and rescue operations were ongoing after US missiles struck a residential home.

Footage from the scene shows more than a dozen people sifting through rubble in or around a structure that has sustained significant damage.

According to an Aljazeera report, a residential building on Qeshm Island was hit in US strikes, with three people reported trapped under the rubble.
Citing Iranian authorities, the report said the island has experienced power outages, and officials are working to restore electricity.

Two people injured in the attack have been transferred to the hospital, and debris removal is ongoing, it added.

US President Donald Trump has stated that he would be "disappointed" if China supplied weapons to Iran, reiterating assurances he said Chinese President Xi Jinping had personally given him that Beijing would not sell arms to Tehran.

The US Central Command said its forces successfully completed a heavy wave of strikes against Iran in response to yesterday's attempted missile attacks on U.S. forces.

"CENTCOM assets struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran, including military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defense sites, and maritime capabilities. The strikes aimed to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries," CENTCOM said in a post on X.

On July 28, IRGC forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted, the CENTCOM said. 

"More than 50,000 U.S. service members are currently deployed to the Middle East and remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready," it added.

At least 20 Iran-aligned members have been killed in US-Saudi attacks on Iraq, according to an Al Jazeera report. 

The Iraqi army says US-Saudi attacks have hindered its investigation into overnight strikes on Popular Mobilisation Forces – or the PMF.

The US airstrikes came hours after Donald Trump vowed to hit back "hard" at Iran after it attacked American bases in Jordan.

The US strikes on Iran came hours after US President Donald Trump vowed to hit back "hard" at Iran.

"We're going to beat the f***ing s**t of them. We'll be hitting them hard. They are going to get a beating," he told Fox News.

"It's our turn," he said, adding that Tehran's acknowledgement of the attack was a mistake.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said US forces have hit southwestern Fars province as well as the island of Kish in the Gulf.

In Fars province, US forces targeted an area on the outskirts of the city of Kazerun, the report said.

Iran’s IRIB state broadcaster reports that strike were also reported on a residential building on Qeshm, where  two people are trapped under rubble.

The US carried out fresh strikes in Iran on Wednesday, the US military said, further intensifying a five-month-old war that was already expanding beyond its main fronts to embroil additional countries in the region.

"The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East," US Central Command said in a statement.

Earlier on Wednesday, a drone hit a US-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt's Mediterranean port of Damietta, British maritime security firm Ambrey said in an initial assessment, while US and Saudi forces launched strikes against Iran-aligned groups in eastern Iraq and Iran fired missiles at US troops in Jordan.

A statement from Egypt's petroleum ministry confirmed a fire at the port but made no mention of a drone attack. It was not immediately clear who was responsible.

The concern is now so serious that some American troops deployed in the region could soon be ordered to surrender their phones, Reuters reported, citing multiple sources familiar with the discussions.

The stop-start fighting between the United States and Iran appears to have entered a new phase as Saudi Arabia publicly joined military escalations against Tehran-backed proxies. At the same time, an already untenable diplomatic effort to end the war has faltered once again as mistrust deepens between the longtime adversaries.

Despite several days of relative calm, both sides carried out military strikes in the last 24 hours that once again risk a return to all-out war -- and further expansion in the region -- while little is clear about what strategy, if any, American or Iranian officials have for a path forward.

While President Donald Trump and his allies have spent recent days arguing that Iran is begging to return to the negotiating table, Iran’s deputy foreign minister said Tuesday that his country has made no requests to restart the diplomatic track in more than two weeks.

Following a thwarted attack on the US base in Jordan, Trump turned back to threats Wednesday even while sustaining the prospect of continued talks.

Iran's state television has reported a US strike in the Piranshahr border area, after the Fars news agency reported a missile hit an uninhabited area, causing no casualties.

U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. ET today. The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.
