A US airstrike in Kuhestak, southern Iran, reportedly struck a home where dozens had gathered for a wedding, turning the celebration into a tragedy. Iranian state media said four people, including two children, were killed and more than 60 wounded, while other officials initially reported five deaths. The strike occurred during US attacks targeting Iranian military and communications infrastructure near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. Weapons experts cited by Reuters assessed that the damage was likely caused by a direct hit from a US munition. The US military said it was investigating the incident and maintained that civilians are not targeted.
