Washington – Agencies: The U.S. military confirmed that Iran deliberately attacked civilians in Gulf states. In response to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s statement that his country had not attacked civilians in neighboring countries, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said this claim was false. CENTCOM posted on its X platform: “Iranian Foreign Minister recently publicly claimed that Iran has not attacked civilians in neighboring countries. This claim is false.” The U.S. Central Command continued: “Iran has not only deliberately attacked civilian infrastructure, residential neighborhoods, and other facilities in neighboring Gulf states, but has also deliberately targeted civilian mariners on the high seas, resulting in the deaths of more than 20 of them in recent months.” The U.S. military concluded that Iran’s reckless aggression is evident and cannot be justified.
