US Central Command says it is looking into attack that killed Iranian 2-year-old, parents
U.S. Central Command said it is aware and looking into reports of the death of an Iranian 2-year-old and their parents.
"The U.S. military never targets civilians, unlike Iranian forces that have launched thousands of missiles and drones targeting innocent people across the Middle East and killed over 50,000 of their own citizens earlier this year," Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, told ABC News in a statement Friday.
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the U.S. of targeting civilian residences, causing the death of parents and their 2-year-old child earlier this week.
"The United States soils its hands with a new crime every day; the terrorist attack on the residential homes of civilians on Qeshm Island is a continuation of the atrocities in Minab and Lamerd," Ghalibaf said in a statement.
"Americans have grown accustomed to making up for the slaps they receive on the battlefield by spilling the blood of the innocent. They will pay the price," Ghalibaf said.
