At least five people, including a four-year-old child, were killed and more than 50 injured after a reported US airstrike hit a wedding celebration near Sirik in southern Iran, Iranian authorities said. The incident occurred amid renewed military confrontation between the United States and Iran. Tehran condemned the strike and accused Washington of causing civilian casualties. The US military said it had conducted strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets, including air-defence systems, radar facilities, maritime assets and communications sites. Iran also reported attacks on US-linked positions in the region. The latest escalation marks the most serious direct fighting between the two sides in weeks.
