The senators are reacting to the reality of strikes hitting residential areas, which substantiates their warnings about potential war crimes and the endangerment of personnel."

"Event 5 details a specific US-Israeli airstrike on a residential area in Tehran. This military action is a primary component of the 'war damages' mentioned in the new event, serving as a direct catalyst for Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz as a form of asymmetric retaliation."
