Iranian media reported Thursday that a US strike hit a residential building in Qeshm City, killing three members of one family. The dead reportedly included a 2-year-old child, making the incident one of the most tragic civilian-loss accounts tied to the attack.
According to the reports, the strike destroyed part of the building and left others trapped under the debris. The headline and footage descriptions indicated that two other children were believed to be beneath the rubble as rescue teams continued searching the site.
Videos shared by the official IRNA news agency showed emergency workers digging through the wreckage in an effort to find survivors. The images pointed to a residential area rather than a military site, underscoring the seriousness of the claims emerging from Qeshm City.
The reported deaths are likely to add to scrutiny over the human cost of US strikes in Iran. With information still coming mainly from Iranian state media and posted footage, the situation remained focused on rescue efforts and the growing toll on civilians.
