U.S. strike hits home during wedding celebration in southern Iran; at least two killed
🔹Iranian officials say a residential home in Kuhestak, in Sirik County in southern Hormozgan Province, was hit during the latest round of U.S. strikes on Iran. A wedding celebration was taking place at the home at the time of the attack.
🔹Ahmad Nafisi, a senior Hormozgan provincial official, said at least two people were killed and several others were injured. Emergency teams were dispatched to the area to assist the wounded and assess the damage.
🔹Some Iranian media have described the incident as a U.S. “strike on a wedding.” However, it remains unclear whether the wedding itself was the intended target or whether the home where the celebration was taking place was struck as part of the broader U.S. operation in the Sirik area.
🔹The U.S. military has confirmed a new round of strikes in southern Iran, including in the Sirik area. The specific circumstances of the wedding incident and the casualties reported by Iranian officials have not yet been independently confirmed by international media.
