U.S. 2,000-Pound Bomb Strikes Family Home on Iran's Qeshm Island, Killing Three Including Toddler

A U.S. airstrike hit a family home on Iran's Qeshm Island with a 2,000-pound MK-84-class bomb in a densely populated neighborhood, killing three people including a two-year-old child. The New York Times and Iran International confirmed the munition type through video analysis. France 24 reported the deaths. These are the first independently reported civilian casualties of the Qeshm campaign, which began in February alongside joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
