Over 50 Injured, 5 killed in Iran Wedding 'US Strike'

The Iranian Red Crescent said on Tuesday that four people including a child were killed and over 50 people were wounded by a US attack while attending a wedding in the south. 

"Following a US missile attack, shrapnel hit a residential home in the city of Kuhestak, in Sirik county of Hormozgan province, where a wedding celebration was taking place," the Red Crescent said in a post on X. "More than 50 people were injured and four people, including a young child, were martyred."

A video shared by an Iranian government account showed extensive debris and damage at what it said was the site of the



wedding in Sirik following the US strike, with people heard screaming in the background. 

Earlier, the deputy governor of the southern Hormozgan province Ahmad Nafisi told state television: "Two people were reported martyred and a number of others wounded." The southern Sirik county lies along the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
