Iranian state media said US overnight strikes on Iran killed a couple and their two-year-old child in their home in the village of Chah Tangu on Qeshm Island.

The strikes marked the resumption of American attacks across southern and coastal Iran after a brief lull in the fighting.

According to Iranian media, two other children, aged 11 and 7, were rescued from the rubble and are receiving medical treatment.

Chah Tangu, located on the largest island in the Persian Gulf near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, is home largely to labourers and municipal workers.

Iranian media released footage of the damaged house, showing a clock stopped at 3.36 am local time, the reported time of the strike.

Sports Centre Also Damaged

A sports centre in the town of Farashband was also damaged in the strikes, although no casualties were reported there.

The United States has not publicly commented on the reported civilian deaths.

Residents described growing fear and uncertainty as the conflict continued to disrupt daily life across the region.

Iran Claims Attack On US Military Base In Kuwait

Hours after the reported US strikes, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for an attack on the US Ali al-Salem military base in Kuwait.

According to a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said it targeted the base with drones.

The force claimed that two drone hangars and a fuel tank used for aircraft and military helicopters were set on fire and destroyed.

Kuwait Yet To Confirm Claim

Kuwait has not publicly confirmed the IRGC's claim, and there has been no independent verification of the reported damage.

The announcement came amid a broader escalation in the Iran-US conflict, with missile and drone strikes increasingly affecting military facilities across the Gulf region.
