Iran sees Qeshm as proof: When US loses on battlefield, then Trump's forces bomb civilians instead?

Published on Jul 31, 2026 02:27 pm IST

Iran has accused the United States of targeting civilian areas after a reported strike on Qeshm Island, with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warning that Washington would "pay the price" for the attack. Ghalibaf claimed the strike hit residential homes and described it as part of what he called a series of U.S. actions against Iran. Tehran said its armed forces would continue responding to military threats while accusing Washington of escalating tensions. The allegations come as relations between Iran and the United States remain highly strained following a series of military exchanges and rising regional instability.
