Iran fires on U.S. allies in Gulf after night of American strikes it claims killed four at a wedding

Iran attacked U.S. bases and allies across the Gulf region on Wednesday following American strikes along Iran's southern coast. Iran's health minister reported at least 18 deaths, while other claims mention four killed at a wedding. In response, Brent crude prices rose to approximately $95 a barrel. President Trump stated the campaign would be short but threatened to hit Tehran very hard if the conflict regarding the Strait of Hormuz remains unresolved by both parties.
