Iran’s Parliament Speaker Condemns US Strike, Citing Child Casualties

Iran’s parliament speaker has publicly condemned a recent US military attack, saying it resulted in the deaths of numerous children, according to Chinese state-affiliated outlet 东南网.

The statement, reported on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric between Tehran and Washington. The speaker’s remarks did not specify the exact location or date of the strike, but they came amid a broader resurgence of military confrontation between the two countries.

According to 东南网, the condemnation follows a period of relative quiet. Other regional reports cited in the same news roundup indicate that the US and Iran had resumed hostilities after roughly a month-long pause. The renewed fighting includes Iranian missile and drone attacks against countries in the region, as well as continued threats from Tehran to strike US military bases.

One report, attributed to Chinese outlet 观察者, noted that a US airstrike in Iran had hit a wedding, killing at least five people and wounding 50 others. US military officials reportedly claimed the strike was not aimed at civilians, though the parliament speaker’s latest comments suggest Tehran views such incidents as unacceptable.

In addition to condemning the attack, Iranian officials have warned that nations cooperating with the US will face consequences, according to CCTV. This warning signals that Tehran may expand its military response beyond direct US targets.

The situation remains fluid, with no clear indication of de-escalation. Observers will be watching whether Washington responds formally to the parliament speaker’s condemnation or if further strikes follow in the coming days.
